CAYCE, S.C., June 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- South Carolina Electric & Gas Company (SCE&G), principal subsidiary of SCANA Corporation (NYSE: SCG), today filed with the Public Service Commission of South Carolina and the South Carolina Office of Regulatory Staff for a $22.6 million, or 5.29 percent, overall decrease to its retail natural gas base rates.  The decrease is driven by the lower corporate tax rate under tax reform and the Company's operating results.
