Rules under this subsection shall include requirements for the gathering of the following information with respect to each electric utility—
(1) the costs of serving each electric consumer class, including costs of serving different consumption patterns within such class, based on voltage level, time of use, and other appropriate factors;
(2) daily kilowatt demand load curves for all electric consumer classes combined representative of daily and seasonal differences in demand, and daily kilowatt demand load curves for each electric consumer class for which there is a separate rate, representative of daily and seasonal differences in demand;
(3) annual capital, operating, and maintenance costs—
(A) for transmission and distribution services, and
(B) for each type of generating unit; and
(4) costs of purchased power, including representative daily and seasonal differences in the amount of such costs.
