The Company uses derivative instruments to hedge forward purchases and sales of natural gas, which create market risks of<br />

different types. See Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements. The information above includes those financial positions of<br />

Energy Marketing, SCE&G and PSNC Energy.<br />

SCE&G and PSNC Energy utilize futures, options and swaps to hedge gas purchasing activities. SCE&G’s tariffs include a<br />

PGA clause that provides for the recovery of actual gas costs incurred. The SCPSC has ruled that the results of SCE&G’s hedging<br />

activities are to be included in the PGA. As such, costs of related derivatives utilized by SCE&G to hedge gas purchasing activities are<br />

recoverable through weighted average cost of gas calculations. The offset to the change in fair value of these derivatives is deferred.<br />

PSNC Energy’s tariffs also include a provision for the recovery of actual gas costs incurred. PSNC Energy defers premiums,<br />

transaction fees, margin requirements and any realized gains or losses from its hedging program for subsequent recovery from<br />

customers.<br />
