Abstract
Provided is a system and method for monitoring utilization of a resource across an entire distribution area. The system dynamically and intelligently limits the aggregated utilization of the resource across an entire distribution area or targeted sub areas. Targeted usage thresholds at the device (individual utilization) level, as well as utility-specified business and technical rules and overrides, can be applied. Using these rules, the system continuously looks for and manages individual utilization of the resource that is available for curtailment, thus producing a larger and more efficient utilization level that is available for reduction without service impact to customers within that service area or targeted sub areas.
