(3) Identify potential programs and tariffs to fairly compensate customers for the value of their distributed energy resources;

(4) Forecast the growth of distributed energy resources on the utility's distribution system;

(5) Provide a ten-year plan for distribution system investments and an analysis of nonwires alternatives for major transmission and distribution investments; and
