SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SELECTIVE DISCONNECTION OF ELECTRICAL SERVICE TO END CUSTOMERS
First Claim
1. A method for selective disconnection of electrical service to a customer via commands transmitted on a communications network between a server in communication with an electric utility and a client device at a customer service point, comprising the steps of:
- generating a customer profile including at least connection information for a plurality of controllable devices within the service point;
receiving a request from the electric utility to generate a selective disconnect event at the service point based on the customer profile;
communicating the selective disconnect event to the client device at the service point; and
generating and sending the selective disconnect event to at least one controllable device at the service point.

Abstract
A system and method for selective disconnection of electrical service to a customer via commands transmitted on a communications network between a server in communication with an electric utility and a client device at a customer service point. A customer profile is generated including at least connection information for a plurality of controllable devices within the service point. A request is received from the electric utility to generate a selective disconnect event at the service point based on the customer profile. The selective disconnect event is communicated to the client device at the service point. The selective disconnect event is sent to at least one controllable device at the service point.
