such order, and periodically thereafter, review tariffs and other
solutions implemented in accordance with this section, for the purpose
of determining whether additional or other relief should be afforded to

necessary.
5. Each combination gas and electric corporation shall, within sixty
days of the order issued pursuant to subdivision three of this section,
file an application with the commission to provide a tariff or implement
other solutions pursuant to the order under this section and shall
periodically report to the commission, on a form prescribed by the
commission, the following information:

delivered under the tariff or other solutions;
(b) the total amount of electricity delivered under the tariff or
other solutions; and
(c) such other information as the commission shall require.

combination gas and electric corporation shall make any tariff or other
operating cost relief mechanisms available to customers.
