Item 5.   OTHER EVENTS AND REGULATION FD DISCLOSURES


     In August 2002,  South  Carolina  Electric & Gas Company  (SCE&G)  filed an
application  with  the  Public  Service  Commission  of South  Carolina  (SCPSC)
requesting a $104.7 million increase in retail electric revenues. On January 14,
2003 the  SCPSC  granted  a $70.7  million  increase,  effective  with the first
billing cycle in February 2003. This rate increase relates  primarily to SCE&G's
power  generation  project  recently  completed at Urquhart  Station and to the
Jasper  County,  South  Carolina  generating  station  project,  as  well  as to
equipment  required for  environmental and air quality  improvements.  The SCPSC
based the approved rates on a 12.45 percent authorized return on common equity.
