System and method for determining and utilizing customer energy profiles for load control for individual structures, devices, and aggregation of same

A system for determining and using customer energy profiles to manage electrical load control events on a communications network between a server in communication with an electric utility and a client device at each of a plurality of service points, comprising:

• a memory storing a database containing a plurality of customer profiles for load control events wherein each customer profile includes at least energy consumption information for a plurality of controllable energy consuming devices at an associated service point;
• a server processor, cooperative with the memory, and configured for managing electrical load control events on the communications network to the plurality of service points by:
• generating a customer profile for each of a plurality of customers;
• aggregating the plurality of customer profiles into a plurality of groups based on at least one predetermined criterion;
• generating a candidate list of service points for load control events based on the predetermined criterion;
• sending a load control event to at least one selected service point in the candidate list of service points in response to an energy reduction request including a target energy savings received from the electric utility via the communications network;
• determining an energy savings for the plurality of controllable energy consuming devices resulting from the load control event at the selected service point;
• determining if the resulting energy savings is at least equal to the target energy savings;
• and
• sending the load control event to at least one selected additional service point in the candidate list of service points in order to reach the target energy savings.
