1. A system, comprising:
- at least one memory which stores computer-executable instructions;
at least one processor coupled to the at least one memory, configured to;
execute the computer-executable instructions stored in the at least one memory;
determine a desired load control configuration for a network of devices; and
generate a load control message based at least in part on the desired load control configuration; and
a transmission device coupled to the at least one processor configured to transmit the load control message to the network of devices.

20. One or more computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, configure the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
-
determining a desired load control configuration for at least one of a network, an advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) device, a meter, a home area network (HAN) device, or a demand response device; generating, based at least in part on the desired load control configuration, a load control message for the at least of a network, an AMI device, a meter, a HAN device, or a demand response device; and transmitting the load control message to the at least one of the network, the AMI device, the meter, the HAN device, or the demand response device.
