Restriction of utility services without full service disconnect

A method, comprising:

• determining that electricity supplied to a service site is restricted to power less than a threshold value;
• disaggregating the electricity supplied to the service site to recognize one or more appliances;
• obtaining an ambient temperature at the service site;
• calculating the threshold value based at least in part on the ambient temperature and to exclude operation of at least one recognized appliance;
• determining if a consumption level at the service site exceeds the threshold value;
• and
• based on the consumption level exceeding the threshold value, and based on the electricity supplied to the service site being restricted, turning off electricity at the service site.

A network device for use in an electricity system, comprising:

• a processor;
• one or more memory devices in communication with the processor;
• and
• statements defined in the one or more memory devices and executable by the processor, wherein execution by the processor performs actions comprising:
• determining that electricity supplied to a service site is restricted to power less than a threshold value;
• determining the threshold value for limiting the restricted service, wherein determining the threshold value comprises:
• obtaining an ambient temperature at the service site;
• and
• calculating the threshold value based at least in part on the ambient temperature;
• determining if a consumption level at the service site exceeds the threshold value;
• based on the consumption level exceeding the threshold value, and based on the electricity supplied to the service site being restricted, temporarily turning off electricity at the service site;
• and
• after a period of time, automatically reconnecting service to the service site.
