Abstract
An energy management system is augmented with sharing of non-binding consumer premises (CP) energy forecasts. Generally speaking, information sourced at a CP is received by CP equipment. The CP equipment creates a non-binding energy forecast for the CP using the CP-sourced information. The forecast is transmitted from the CP equipment to management premises (MP) equipment. The MP equipment may use the forecast to regulate at least one of electricity supply or demand at the CP.
