Billed salary expense figures presented above include only those salary costs directly charged or ultimately distributed to account 920. Salary costs of certain employees in certain departments (including Information Services, Telecommunications, Printing Services and Facilities Maintenance) which are billed via chargeback methodologies, totaling approximately $25 million, are not reflected in the above billed amounts. Additionally, approximately $14 milllion of direct-charged salary cost originates in accounts other than 920 which are more aligned with the service provided (i.e. customer service). Personnel figures above include all service company employees, including those whose salary costs are billed via the chargeback methodologies.

EXHIBIT I

Description of Services, Cost Accumulation, Assignment and
Allocation Methodologies for
SCANA Services, Inc.

        This document sets forth the methodologies used to accumulate the costs of services performed by SCANA Services, Inc. ("SCANA Services") and to assign or allocate such costs to other subsidiaries and business units within SCANA Corporation ("Client Entities").

Cost of Services Performed

        SCANA Services maintains an accounting system that enables costs to be identified by Cost Center, Account Number or Project, Activity, Resource, and Event ("Account Codes"). The primary inputs to the accounting system are time records of hours worked by SCANA Services employees, accounts payable transactions and journal entries. Charges for labor are made at the employees' effective hourly rate, including the cost of pensions, other employee benefits and payroll taxes. To the extent practicable, costs of services are directly assigned to the applicable Account Codes. The full cost of providing services also includes certain indirect costs, e.g., departmental overheads, administrative and general costs, and taxes. Indirect costs are associated with the services performed in proportion to the directly assigned costs of the services or other relevant cost allocators.

Cost Assignment and Allocation

        SCANA Services costs will be directly assigned, distributed or allocated to Client Entities in the manner prescribed below.

        1.     Costs accumulated in Account Codes for services specifically performed for a single Client Entity will be directly assigned or charged to such Client Entity.

        2.     Costs accumulated in Account Codes for services specifically performed for two or more Client Entities will be distributed among and charged to such Client Entities using methods determined on a case-by-case basis consistent with the nature of the work performed and based on one of the allocation methods described below.

        3.     Costs accumulated in Account Codes for services of a general nature which are applicable to all Client Entities or to a class or classes of Client Entities will be allocated among and charged to such Client Entities by application of one or more of the allocation methods described below.

Allocation Methods

        The following methods will be applied, as indicated in the Description of Services section that follows, to allocate costs for services of a general nature.

        1.     Information Systems Charge-back Rates—Rates for services, including but not limited to Software, Consulting, Mainframe, Midtier and Network Connectivity Services, are based on the costs of labor, materials and Information Services overheads related to the provision of each service. Such rates are applied based on the specific equipment employed and the measured usage of services by Client Entities. These rates will be determined annually based on actual experience and may be adjusted for any known and reasonably quantifiable events, or at such time as may be required due to significant changes.

        2.     Margin Revenue Ratio—"Margin" is equal to the excess of sales revenues over the applicable cost of sales, i.e., cost of fuel for generation and gas for resale. The numerator is equal to margin revenues for a specific Client Entity and the denominator is equal to the combined margin revenues of all the applicable Client Entities. This ratio will be evaluated annually based on actual results of

53



operations for the previous calendar year and may be adjusted for any known and reasonably quantifiable events, or at such time, based on results of operations for a subsequent twelve-month period, as may be required due to significant changes.

        3.     Number of Customers Ratio—A ratio based on the number of retail electric and/or gas customers. This ratio will be determined annually based on the actual number of customers at the end of the previous calendar year and may be adjusted for any known and reasonably quantifiable events, or at such time as may be required due to significant changes.

        4.     Number of Employees Ratio—A ratio based on the number of employees benefiting from the performance of a service. This ratio will be determined annually based on actual counts of applicable employees at the end of the previous calendar year and may be adjusted for any known and reasonably quantifiable events, or at such time as may be required due to significant changes.

        5.     Three-Factor Formula—This formula will be determined annually based on the average of gross property (original cost of plant in service, excluding depreciation), payroll charges (salaries and wages, including overtime, shift premium and holiday pay, but not including pension, benefit and company-paid payroll taxes) and gross revenues during the previous calendar year and may be adjusted for any known and reasonably quantifiable events, or at such time as may be required due to significant changes.

        6.     Modified Three-Factor Method—a ratio for the allocation of non-directly assigned corporate governance costs. The Modified Three-Factor Method provides for an allocation of cost to the parent company; the Three-Factor Method does not. The formula will be determined annually based on the average of gross property (original cost of plant in service, excluding depreciation), payroll charges (salaries and wages, including overtime, shift premium and holiday pay, but not including pension, benefit and company paid payroll taxes) and gross revenues during the previous calendar year. For the purpose of the Modified Three-Factor Method, the dividends resulting from operations of the subsidiaries are used as a proxy for revenues for the parent company.

        7.     Telecommunications Charge-back Rates—Rates for use of telecommunications services other than those encompassed by Information Systems Charge-back Rates are based on the costs of labor, materials, outside services and Telecommunications overheads. Such rates are applied based on the specific equipment employment and the measured usage of services by Client Entities. These rates will be determined annually based on actual experience and may be adjusted for any known and reasonably quantifiable events, or at such time as may be required due to significant changes.

        8.     Gas Sales Ratio—A ratio based on the actual number of dekatherms of natural gas sold by the applicable gas distribution or marketing operations. This ratio will be determined annually based on actual results of operations for the previous calendar year and may be adjusted for any known and reasonably quantifiable events, or at such time, based on results of operations for a subsequent twelve-month period, as may be required due to significant changes.

Description of Services

        A description of each of the services performed by SCANA Services, which may be modified from time to time, is presented below. As discussed above, where identifiable, costs will be directly assigned or distributed to Client Entities. For costs accumulated in Account Codes which are for services of a general nature that cannot be directly assigned or distributed, the method or methods of allocation are also set forth. Substitution or changes may be made in the methods of allocation hereinafter specified, as may be appropriate, and will be provided to state regulatory agencies and to each affected Client Entity and appropriate notice (through 60-day letter or otherwise) will be given to the SEC.
