Electric Operations<br />

Electric Operations is comprised of the electric operations of SCE&G, GENCO and Fuel Company. Electric operations sales<br />

margin (including transactions with affiliates) was as follows:<br />

Millions of dollars 2011 Change 20<strong>10</strong> Change 2009<br />

Operating revenues $ 2,432.2 2.5% $ 2,373.9 <strong>10</strong>.5% $ 2,148.9<br />

Less: Fuel used in generation 922.5 (2.6)% 946.7 15.1% 822.3<br />

Purchased power 19.2 12.9% 17.0 1.2% 16.8<br />

Margin $ 1,490.5 5.7% $ 1,4<strong>10</strong>.2 7.7% $ 1,309.8<br />

• 2011 vs 20<strong>10</strong><br />

• 20<strong>10</strong> vs 2009<br />

Margin increased by $49.0 million due to an increase in retail electric base rates approved by the SCPSC under<br />

the BLRA and by $34.5 million due to an SCPSC-approved increase in retail electric base rates in July 20<strong>10</strong>.<br />

Also, margin in the first quarter of 20<strong>10</strong> was adjusted downward by $17.4 million pursuant to an SCPSC<br />

regulatory order in connection with SCE&G’s annual fuel cost proceeding. These increases were partially offset<br />

by $12 million due to the effects of weather in 20<strong>10</strong> before the implementation of the SCPSC-approved eWNA<br />

and by lower customer usage of $8.7 million.<br />

Margin increased by $37.0 million due to higher SCPSC-approved retail electric base rates in July 20<strong>10</strong> and by<br />

$30.7 million due to an increase in base rates approved by the SCPSC under the BLRA. In addition, margin<br />

increased by $54.2 million (net of eWNA after its implementation) due to weather, by $5.8 million due to higher<br />

transmission revenue and off-system sales and by $13.6 million due to the adoption of SCPSC-approved lower<br />

electric depreciation rates in 2009, the effect of which was offset by a reduction in the recovery of fuel costs<br />

(electric revenue). During the first quarter of 20<strong>10</strong>, SCE&G deferred $25 million of incremental revenue as a<br />

result of the abnormally cold weather in its service territory (see Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements).<br />

Also, margin in the first quarter of 20<strong>10</strong> was adjusted downward by $17.4 million pursuant to an SCPSC<br />

regulatory order issued in connection with SCE&G’s annual fuel cost proceeding. (See also discussion at<br />

“Income Taxes”.) Finally, pursuant to the SCPSC-approved retail electric base rate order in 20<strong>10</strong>, SCE&G<br />

adopted an eWNA thereby mitigating the effects of abnormal weather on its margins.<br />

Sales volumes (in GWh) related to the electric margin above, by class, were as follows:<br />

Classification 2011 Change 20<strong>10</strong> Change 2009<br />

Residential 8,232 (6.4)% 8,791 11.4% 7,893<br />

Commercial 7,397 (3.7)% 7,684 4.5% 7,350<br />

Industrial 5,938 1.3% 5,863 <strong>10</strong>.1% 5,324<br />

Other 572 (1.5)% 581 3.4% 562<br />

Total retail sales 22,139 (3.4)% 22,919 8.5% 21,129<br />

Wholesale 2,049 4.3% 1,965 (0.5)% 1,975<br />
