16. A method for planning or controlling an energy supply to a consumer or to an energy distribution network, comprising the steps of:
-
generating at and transmitting from a first energy supplier first messages selected from current tariffs or planned tariffs to be expected, an expected network capacity utilization, a probability that the expected current or planned tariffs will actually occur, and a probability that the expected network capacity utilization will actually occur, generating at and transmitting from a second energy supplier second messages selected from current or planned tariffs to be expected, an expected network capacity utilization, a probability that the expected current or planned tariffs will actually occur, and a probability that the expected network capacity utilization will actually occur, receiving at least one of the first and second messages with a first control unit, informing the first control unit about an energy demand of a consumer connected to a controllable switching device and a time frame for covering the energy demand, determining with the first control unit a time schedule for supplying energy to the consumer based on at least one of the first messages and the second messages, and connecting the switching device through within the time frame according to the determined schedule. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
