     1  6    b.  A gas and electric utility required to be
     1  7 rate=regulated under this chapter shall assess
     1  8 potential energy and capacity savings available
     1  9 from actual and projected customer usage by applying

     1 11 operating practices to energy=using equipment
     1 12 and buildings.  A utility that was subject to a
     1 13 revenue sharing settlement agreement with regard
     1 14 to its electric base rates as of January 1, 2010,
     1 15 shall also assess projected energy demand for the
     1 16 succeeding twenty=year period, options for meeting
     1 17 the projected demand including but not limited to
     1 18 energy efficiency, cogeneration of electricity and
     1 19 transmission improvements, and projected environmental
     1 20 impacts during the period, including greenhouse gas
