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 />
