     On February 9, 2000, SCANA  Corporation  ("SCANA")  received approval under
the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended (the "Act"), from the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") to acquire the outstanding
voting  securities of Public  Service  Company of North  Carolina,  Incorporated
("PSNC") in a merger  transaction,  Holding Co. Act Release No.  27133 (Feb.  9,
2000) (the "Merger  Order").  SCANA and PSNC completed their merger effective at
the close of  business on February  10,  2000 and SCANA  registered  as a public
utility holding company under the Act on February 11, 2000.

     SCANA and the companies  set forth on the cover page hereto  (collectively,
the   "Applicants")   hereby   file  this   post-effective   amendment   to  its
application/declaration  on Form U-1 relating to certain financing  transactions
(the  "Application/Declaration")  under  the  Act in  order  to  revise  certain
authorized  financing amounts  contained in the order relating thereto,  Holding
Co. Act Release No. 27137 (Feb. 14, 2000) (the "Financing Order").

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS

     The Financing Order permitted,  among other things, the following financing
transactions,  subject to certain  parameters set forth in section A below:  (i)
issuances of equity and debt  securities by SCANA in an amount  totaling  $1.935
billion and (ii) issuances by PSNC of commercial paper and short-term debt in an
amount totaling $125 million.  The aggregate  financing amount authorized in the
Financing Order is $2.385 billion.

     The  Applicants   hereby  submit  this   Application/Declaration   for  the
authorization  and approval  under  sections 6(a), 7, 9(a), 10 and 12 of the Act
and Rules 43,  45, 53 and 54 to  increase  its  authorized  aggregate  financing
amount to $3.125  billion from $2.385  billion by (i)  increasing  the aggregate
financing  to be obtained  from the issuance  and sale of common  stock,  no par
value  (other than for  employee  benefit  plans or stock  purchase and dividend
reinvestment plans), when combined with issuances of long-term debt by SCANA, to
$2.45  billion  from  $1.935  billion,  and (ii)  increasing  the amount PSNC is
authorized to issue in the form of commercial  paper and short-term debt to $200
million to be outstanding at any one time from $125 million to be outstanding at
any one time and  obtaining  authorization  for PSNC to issue  $150  million  in
long-term  debt,  in each case  through  February  11, 2003 (the  "Authorization
Period").

     The increases  described  herein  reflect a more  complete  analysis of the
financial needs of the post-merger system. Any financing transactions undertaken
pursuant to this authorization will remain subject to the safeguards provided by
the financing  parameters set forth in the Financing  Order and described in (A)
below as well as the  capitalization  commitments set forth in the Merger Order.
All other amounts  authorized by the Financing  Order that are not  specifically
discussed herein shall remain unchanged.

     A.   Parameters for Financing Order

     The  following  general terms are  applicable,  where  appropriate,  to the
financing transactions set forth herein:


                                        1


<PAGE>



          1.   Effective Cost of Money on Borrowings

     The effective cost of money on long-term debt borrowings occurring pursuant
to the authorizations granted under this Application/Declaration will not exceed
300 basis  points over the  comparable  term U.S.  Treasury  securities  and the
effective cost of money on short-term debt borrowings pursuant to authorizations
granted under this Application/Declaration will not exceed 300 basis points over
the comparable term London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR").

          2.   Maturity of Debt

     The maturity of indebtedness will not exceed 50 years.

          3.   Issuance Expenses

     The underwriting  fees,  commissions or other similar  remuneration paid in
connection with the  non-competitive  issue,  sale or distribution of a security
pursuant to this  Application/Declaration will not exceed 5% of the principal or
total amount of the security being issued.

          4.   Use of Proceeds

     The proceeds from the sale of securities in external financing transactions
will be used for general  corporate  purposes  including (i) the  financing,  in
part, of the capital  expenditures  of the SCANA  system,  (ii) the financing of
working  capital  requirements  of the  SCANA  system,  (iii)  the  acquisition,
retirement or redemption pursuant to Rule 42 of securities  previously issued by
SCANA or its Subsidiaries  without the need for prior Commission  approval,  and
(iv) other lawful purposes, including direct or indirect investment in companies
authorized  under  the  Merger  U-1 and in  Rule  58  companies  and  ETCs.  The
Applicants  represent that no such financing  proceeds will be used to acquire a
new subsidiary  unless such financing is consummated in accordance with an order
of the Commission or an available exemption under the Act.

     B.   Description of Transactions

          (i)  SCANA External Financing

     Subject to the parameters  above, as well as the other conditions set forth
in the Financing  Order,  the  Applicants  hereby request  authorization  for an
increase in the amount of equity and long-term  debt SCANA is permitted to issue
to $2.45 billion from $1.935 billion.

          (ii) PSNC Financing

               (a)  Short-Term Financing

     Subject to the parameters  above, as well as the other conditions set forth
in the Financing  Order,  the  Applicants  hereby request  authorization  for an
increase in the amount of  commercial  paper and credit  lines PSNC is permitted
issue to $200 million from $125 million. The increase is


                                        2


<PAGE>



required to fully take into account increased short-term financing needs of PSNC
during its peak season (winter months).

               (b)  Long-Term Debt Securities

     Subject to the parameters set forth above, as well as the other  conditions
set forth in the Financing  Order, the Applicants  hereby request  authorization
for PSNC to issue up to $150 million in  long-term  debt  securities  during the
Authorization  Period.  Such  long-term  debt  securities  would be comprised of
medium-term  notes  under  the  indenture  attached  hereto  as  Exhibit  B-1 or
institutional  debt. Any long-term  debt security  would have such  designation,
aggregate  principal  amount,  maturity  and  interest  rate(s)  or  methods  of
determining  the same,  terms of payment  of  interest,  redemption  provisions,
sinking fund terms and other terms and  conditions  as PSNC may determine at the
time of  issuance.  PSNC  will not  issue  any new  long-term  debt  unless  its
outstanding  long-term  debt  is  rated  "investment  grade"  by  at  least  one
nationally  recognized  statistical rating  organization.  This authorization is
required because issuances of such securities by PSNC technically do not qualify
for the exemption  provided in Rule 52 of the Act./1/  Pursuant to Rule 52, most
securities  issuances  by public  utility  subsidiaries  of  registered  holding
companies,  such as PSNC, are exempt from prior  Commission  approval  provided,
among other  things,  "the issue and sale of the  security  have been  expressly
authorized  by the state  commission  of the state in which  the  subsidiary  is
organized and doing business".  The Rule 52 exemption is designed to give effect
to the  Commission's  belief  "registered  holding company systems should have a
greater ability to engage in routine financings without the regulatory burden of
prior Commission  authorization,  and that this may be done without jeopardizing
the  interests  the Act is designed to  protect."  (Holding  Co. Act Release No.
26311 (June 20, 1995))

     The interests  that the Act is designed to protect will not be  jeopardized
by these debt  issuances  despite  the fact that they do not fit within the safe
harbor of the Rule 52 exemption.  PSNC is a public utility company franchised to
serve a 31-county area in North Carolina, transporting, distributing and selling
natural gas to  approximately  360,000  residential,  commercial  and industrial
customers  in North  Carolina.  In  accordance  with the  Amended  and  Restated
Agreement and Plan of Merger among SCANA,  PSNC,  Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II
and as set out in detail in the  Merger  Order,  PSNC was  merged  with and into
Merger Sub II, a South Carolina  corporation,  with Merger Sub II surviving as a
wholly owned  subsidiary of SCANA and changing its name to PSNC.  Thus,  PSNC is
currently  incorporated in the state of South Carolina  although it conducts its
gas distribution  activities entirely within the state of North Carolina.  Under
South Carolina law, the South Carolina  Public Service  Commission (the "SCPSC")
jurisdiction with respect to securities issuances is limited to electric utility
companies operating in the state of South Carolina. Therefore, PSNC is unable to
obtain  authorization  from the state in which it is  organized  since the SCPSC
does not have any legislatively approved interest in such

--------
     1 As of June 30,  2000,  PSNC  had the  following  outstanding  medium-term
notes,  all of which were  issued  prior to the  Merger  Effective  Time:  $21.5
million  principal amount of 10% Notes Due 2004; $32.0 million  principal amount
8.75% Notes Due 2012; $50 million principal amount 6.99% Notes Due 2026; and $50
million principal amount 7.45% Notes Due 2026.


                                        3

issuances. However, with respect to North Carolina, the only state in which PSNC
operates  as  a  utility  and  has  ratepayers,  the  North  Carolina  Utilities
Commission  has  authorized  the  issuance  by  PSNC of up to  $150  million  in
long-term debt  securities and has found such issuance to be compatible with the
public  interest and the consistent  with PSNC's  provision of adequate  utility
service to the public (See Exhibit D-1).

     C.   Certificates of Notification

     PSNC will include in the quarterly Rule 24 certificates that it is required
to file  pursuant to the  Financing  Order the amount and terms of any long-term
debt issued by PSNC pursuant to the  authorization  sought  hereunder as well as
copies of any  additional  note or  agreement  executed and  delivered  pursuant
thereto.

     D.   Involvement of SCANA and its Affiliates with Exempt
          Wholesale Generators and Foreign Utility Companies

     The proposed transactions are not subject to Rules 53 and 54 under the Act.
Neither SCANA nor any subsidiary  thereof  presently has, or as a consequence of
the  proposed  transactions  will have,  an  interest  in any  exempt  wholesale
generator  ("EWG") or  foreign  utility  company  ("FUCO"),  as those  terms are
defined in Sections  32 and 33 of the Act,  respectively.  None of the  proceeds
from the proposed transactions will be used to acquire any securities of, or any
interest in, an EWG or FUCO. Moreover, neither SCANA nor any of its subsidiaries
is, or as a consequence of the proposed  transactions  will become,  a party to,
and such entities do not and will not have any rights under, a service, sales or
construction  contract  with any  affiliated  EWGs or FUCOs except in accordance
with the  rules and  regulations  promulgated  by the  Commission  with  respect
thereto.  Consequently,  all applicable requirements of Rule 53(a)-(c) under the
Act are satisfied as required by Rule 54 under the Act.

ITEM 2. FEES, COMMISSIONS AND EXPENSES

     The fees,  commissions  and expenses of the  Applicants  are expected to be
paid or incurred,  directly or indirectly,  in connection with the  transactions
described above are estimated as follows:

        Legal fees                    .................................. $*
        Miscellaneous                 .................................. $*
                               Total  .................................. $*

     *    To Be Filed By Amendment.

ITEM 3. APPLICABLE STATUTORY PROVISIONS

     Sections  6(a),  7, 9(a),  10 and 12 of the Act and Rules 43, 45, 53 and 54
are considered applicable to the proposed transactions.

     To the extent that the proposed transaction is considered by the Commission
to require authorization,  approval or exemption under any section of the Act or
provision  of rules or  regulations  other than those  specifically  referred to
herein, request for such authorization, approval or exemption is hereby made.

ITEM 4. REGULATORY APPROVALS

     The  South  Carolina  Public  Service   Commission  has  jurisdiction  over
issuances of securities by SCE&G and GENCO, other than securities payable within
one year of the date of issuance or the renewal of short-term  obligations for a
two-year  or  shorter  period.  The  North  Carolina  Utilities  Commission  has
jurisdiction  over  issuances of securities by PSNC,  other than the issuance of
notes with a maturity of two years or less or renewals thereof for a six-year or
shorter period.

     No state or federal  commission  other than the Commission has jurisdiction
with   respect  to  any  of  the   proposed   transactions   described  in  this
Application-Declaration.

ITEM 5. PROCEDURE

     It is requested that the Commission issue and publish no later than October
20, 2000, the requisite  notice under Rule 23 with respect to the filing of this
Application-Declaration,  such notice to specify a date not later than  November
15,  2000 as the  date  after  which  an  order  granting  and  permitting  this
Application-Declaration to become effective may be entered by the Commission and
that the Commission enter not later than November 17, 2000, an appropriate order
granting and permitting this Application-Declaration to become effective.

     The Applicants  respectfully  request that appropriate and timely action be
taken by the  Commission in this matter.  No  recommended  decision by a hearing
officer or other responsible  officer of the Commission is necessary or required
in this matter.  The Division of  Investment  Management of the  Commission  may
assist in the  preparation of the  Commission's  decision in this matter.  There
should be no thirty-day  waiting  period between the issuance and effective date
of any order issued by the  Commission  in this matter,  and it is  respectfully
requested  that any such  order be made  effective  immediately  upon the  entry
thereof.

ITEM 7. INFORMATION AS TO ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS

     None of the matters  that are the  subject of this  Application-Declaration
involve a "major federal action" nor do they  "significantly  affect the quality
of the human  environment"  as those terms are used in Section  102(2)(C) of the

Unsecured Debt Securities                       )

     BY THE COMMISSION:  Public Service Company of North Carolina,  Inc. ("PSNC"
or "Company")  filed an Application  on March 24, 1999, and filed  amendments to
the  Application  on April 5, 1999,  wherein  the  Company  requests  Commission
authority  to issue  and sell up to  $150,000,000  principal  amount  of  senior
unsecured debt ("Senior Debt") securities.  The $150,000,000 amount includes $25
million of Senior Debt which was  authorized by Commission  Order dated November
5, 1996,  in Docket No. G-5,  Sub 365,  that has not been  issued and sold.  The
Company proposes to issue and sell the Senior Debt, from time to time, in one or
more public  offerings,  pursuant to the terms and  conditions  of  underwriting
agreements to be entered into by and between Public Service and an  underwriter.
A  proposed  form  of  such  an  underwriting   agreement  is  attached  to  the
Application, as amended, as Exhibit A.

     Based upon the verified  Application as amended,  and the exhibits attached
thereto,  information in the Commission's public files and records,  and matters
which may be judicially noticed, the Commission makes the following

                                FINDINGS OF FACT

     1.  PSNC is a  corporation  duly  organized  under the laws of the State of
North  Carolina  having its principal  office and place of business in Gastonia,
North   Carolina.   PSNC  operates  a  natural  gas  pipeline   system  for  the
transportation,  distribution,  and sale of natural gas within a franchised area
consisting  of all or parts of  thirty-one  (31) counties in central and western
North Carolina as designated in PSNC's  certificates  of public  convenience and
necessity issued by this Commission,

     2. PSNC is engaged in providing  natural gas utility  service to the public
and is a  "public  utility,"  as  defined  in  G.S.ss.62-3(23),  subject  to the
jurisdiction of this Commission pursuant to G.S.ss.62-2.

     3. PSNC has  constructed,  and will  continue to  construct,  facilities to
receive,  transmit,  distribute,  deliver,  and sell natural gas to residential,
commercial, industrial, and other consumers of natural gas within PSNC's service
territory  as  described  in :the  certificates  of the public  convenience  and
necessity issued to PSNC by this Commission as described  above.  PSNC's current
and  continuing  construction  program  consists  of  the  construction  of  new
facilities  to extend  natural  gas  service to new  customers  and to  maintain
service to existing customers.

     4. PSNC requests permission and authorization to issue and sell Senior Debt
in a principal amount up to  $150,000,000.  This debt will be issued and sold to
the public pursuant to underwriting agreements to be entered into by and between
PSNC and an underwriter. The underwriter will issue and sell this Senior Debt to
the public no earlier than the times when PSNC determines that market conditions
are favorable.  PSNC filed a proposed form of an underwriting agreement with its
Application, as amended, in this proceeding.

     5. This Senior Debt will be comprised of the senior debt securities  having
an  aggregate   principal  amount  of  $125,000,000   contemplated  by  a  shelf
registration  statement to be filed with the Securities and Exchange  Commission
("SEC")  on Form S-3,  and the  remaining  $25,000,000  authorized  by the shelf
registration  statement  that  PSNC  previously  filed  with the SEC on Form S-3
(Registration  No.  33-65205) and filed with the Commission on January 31, 1996,
in Docket No, G-5, Sub 351. A copy of this new shelf  registration  statement is
to be filed with the Commission when available.

     6. This  Senior Debt will be issued  without  coupons in  denominations  of
$1,000, or any multiple  thereof.  The principal amount of Senior Debt which may
be issued  under this  application  is limited to  $150,000,000  (including  the
$25,000,000  remaining on the authorization granted in Docket No. G-5, Sub 365).
The interest rate on this Senior Debt, and other terms and  conditions,  will be
determined  at the time or times that PSNC issues  debt under the  authorization
granted herein.  In the event of default in the payment of principal or interest
on any of this  Senior  Debt,  the  remedies  and  provisions  set  forth  in an
underwriting agreement and Supplemental Indenture will apply.

     7. PSNC's capital stock as of February 28, 1999 consisted  solely of Common
Stock,  which has a par value of $1,00 per share,  PSNC is  authorized  to Issue
30,000,000 shares of Common Stock, and had 20,553,806  shares  outstanding as of
February 28, 1999,

     8. PSNC's long-term debt, including current maturities,  as of February 28,
1999,  consisted  of senior  unsecured  debentures  of  various  maturity  dates
extending from 2003 to 2026, in various principal amounts outstanding. The total
principal amount outstanding is $164,050,000.

     9.  PSNC also  requires  funds to repay a portion  of its  short-term  bank
loans,  which  totaled  $78,500,000  as of February 28,  1999.  These loans were
incurred primarily to finance the construction of PSN's facilities,  and also to
fund stored gas inventories and other corporate purposes.

     10. PSNC requests permission and authorization to issue the Senior Debt for
lawful purposes which are within the corporate purposes of PSNC, compatible with
the public  interest,  and necessary and appropriate  for, and consistent  with,
PSNC's  provision of adequate  utility service to the public.  Furthermore,  the
utility   service  that  PSNC  renders  will  be  materially   promoted  by  the
transactions proposed herein, and PSNC's ability to provide that utility service
may be impaired in the absence of permission and  authorization to undertake the
transactions  contemplated  and to issue and sell the Senior  Debt as  described
above.

     WHEREUPON, the Commission now reaches the following

                                   CONCLUSIONS

     Based upon the  foregoing  Findings  of Fact and from a review and study of
the amended  Application,  its  supporting  data,  and other  information in the
Commission's  files,  the Commission is of the opinion and so concludes that the
transactions herein proposed are:

          (a)  For lawful purposes within the corporate purposes of PSNC;
          (b)  Compatible with the public interest;
          (c)  Necessary and  appropriate for and consistent with PSNC's ability
               to provide  adequate  utility  service to the public and will not
               impair its ability to provide that service; and
          (d)  Reasonably necessary and appropriate for such purposes,

     IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that:

     1. PSNC is authorized  and permitted to issue and sell,  from time to time,
up to  $150,000,000  of Senior Debt  (including  the  $25,000,000 of Senior Debt

are available-

     2. PSNC is authorized  to incur and pay the estimated  fees and expenses in

authorized  to  amortize  the  actual  fees and  expenses  associated  with each
issuance  and sale of Senior  Debt over the life of such  Senior  Debt under the
authorization  granted  herein.  Within sixty (60) days after each  issuance and
sale of such Senior Debt,  PSNC will file with the Commission,  In duplicate,  a
statement  listing all fees and expenses  actually incurred with respect-to each
issuance and sale of such Senior Debt.

     3. Within sixty (60) days after each issuance and sale of Senior Debt under
the  authorization  granted  herein,  PSNC shall file with this  Commission,  In
duplicate,  a verified  report of  actions  taken and  transactions  consummated
pursuant  to the  authority  granted  herein.  Such  report  shall  contain  the
following Information and data:

          (a)  date of sale;
          (b)  principal amount sold,
          (c)  the stated coupon, interest, or dividend rate, as appropriate;

          (f)  the net cost to PSNC;
          (g)  other  direct  expenses  related to the issuance and sale of such
               Senior Debt;
          (h)  if  any  of  the  proceeds  are to be  used  to  redeem  existing
               securities,  the  docket  number of the  proceeding  in which the
               securities to be redeemed  were  authorized  and the savings,  if

               redemption transaction being reported;
          (i)  a copy of the executed  Underwriting  Agreement and  Supplemental
               Indenture  (both in final  form) for each sale of the Senior Debt
               authorized herein as soon as such agreements are available; and
          (j)  such information  regarding each such issuance and sale as may be
               relevant.

     4. This  proceeding is continued on the docket of the  Commission,  without
delay,  for the purpose of receiving the SEC registration  statement,  copies of
executed  underwriting  agreements,  and  reports,  as  herein  above  provided.
Further,  the  Commission's  approval  in this  docket  does  not  restrict  the
Commission's right to review and, if deemed  appropriate,  adjust PSNC's cost of
capital  or  expense  levels  for  ratemaking  purposes  for the effect of these
securities.
