     (k) A table listing each project by estimated therm savings, including, without limitation, information regarding demand savings, expected life, lifetime savings, and total resource cost test cost/benefit ratio; and

     (l) Any other information necessary to enable an informed reader to examine and verify the adequacy and accuracy of the data, assumptions and methods used in developing the report.

     4. The Commission will process the annual conservation and energy efficiency plan report and analysis within 135 days and issue an order accepting the plan as filed or specifying any portion of the report and analysis which the Commission deems to be inadequate.
