CAYCE, S.C., Aug. 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- SCANA Corporation (NYSE:SCG) will host a conference call today at 3 PM EDT during which Steve Byrne, Chief Operating Officer of South Carolina Electric & Gas Company, will provide an update on the company's new nuclear project. Included in the discussion will be reference to preliminary information received from the Consortium in August indicating that the substantial completion of Unit 2 is expected to occur in late 2018 or the first half of 2019 and that the substantial completion of Unit 3 may be approximately 12 months later. These expected substantial completion dates do not reflect all efforts that may be possible to mitigate delay, nor has SCE&G accepted this new schedule. The Consortium has not yet provided any cost estimates related to the delay. SCE&G anticipates that the revised schedule and the cost estimate at completion will be finalized in the latter half of 2014. SCE&G plans to reevaluate and reschedule its owners cost estimates and cash flow requirements in light of that new schedule when it is finalized.
