Abstract
A method of controlling power to a plurality of devices on an energy network, wherein each device has an identifier which uniquely identifies the device on the network, the method comprising: generating a profile of the power associated with each device over a given time frame; and controlling the power to each device in accordance with the profile at a corresponding time frame on a different occasion.

A method of controlling power to a plurality of devices on an energy network, wherein each device has an identifier which uniquely identifies the device on the network, the method comprising:
- generating a profile of the power associated with each device over a given time frame;
- and
- controlling the power to each device in accordance with the profile at a corresponding time frame on a different occasion.
An apparatus for controlling power to a plurality of devices on an energy network wherein each device has an identifier which uniquely identifies the device on the network, comprising:
- a profile generator operable to generate a profile of the power associated with each device over a given time frame;
- and
- a controller operable to control the power to each device in accordance with the profile at a corresponding time frame on a different occasion.
