System for propagating messages for purposes of demand response

A method for propagating messages comprising:

• receiving one dispatch at a demand response (DR) communications intermediary from a utility/independent service operator (ISO);
• disaggregating the one dispatch into one or more dispatches at the DR communications intermediary;
• conveying the one or more dispatches to one or more DR resources, respectively;
• receiving one or more telemetries at the DR communications intermediary from the one or more DR resources, respectively;
• aggregating the one or more telemetries into one telemetry at the DR communications intermediary;
• and
• conveying the one telemetry to the utility/ISO.

A demand response message propagating system comprising:

• a first network connectable to a utility/independent service operator (ISO);
• and
• a customer domain connected to a first network;
• and
• wherein:
• the customer domain comprises:
• a communications intermediary connected to the first network and a second network;
• and
• one or more demand response (DR) resources connected to the second network;
• wherein:
• one or more separate telemetries are received by the communications intermediary from the one or more DR resources;
• and
• the one or more separate telemetries are aggregated by the communications intermediary into a single telemetry and sent to the utility/ISO.
