    (1) the provision of reliable, cost-effective electric supply to customers, including competitive supply, basic service, and ratemaking; (2) initiatives and activities aimed at achieving a more efficient, modernized, and environmentally sustainable electricity system, including energy efficiency; distributed generation including renewables and storage, net metering, and interconnection; grid modernization; and electric vehicle infrastructure; and (3) ensuring the physical reliability and safety of the electrical system, including service quality, vegetation management, and storm and emergency response.
