AUTOMATED LOAD CONTROL AND DISPATCH SYSTEM AND METHOD
First Claim
1. A system for providing a customer response to an automatic load control event, the system comprising:
- a first electronic circuit logic block for receiving a load control event message;
a second electronic circuit logic block for generating a display for a customer including a set of plural load control scenarios that can be selected to respond to the load control event message;
a third electronic circuit logic block for generating a display for the customer of an amount of reduction associated with selected load control scenarios of the plural load control scenarios that were selected in response to the load control event message; and
a fourth electronic circuit logic block for sending an electronic commitment message identifying an amount the customer will reduce a load at a time specified in the load control event message.

Abstract
A group of electronic circuit logic blocks work together to receive a load control event message and respond thereto. A display is generated for a customer that includes (1) a set of plural load control scenarios that can be selected to respond to the load control event message and (2) an amount of reduction associated with selected load control scenarios of the plural load control scenarios that were selected in response to the load control event message. The display may also include a monetary value of the amount of reduction associated with the selected load control scenarios of the plural load control scenarios that were selected in response to the load control event message. An electronic commitment message is sent in response identifying an amount the customer will reduce a load at a time specified in the load control event message.
