1. A method for an energy control system to control load shedding and payback spikes of a total population having a plurality of subset populations of homes that include one or more energy consuming devices, executed via a controller with at least one memory storing executable instructions for the method, comprising:

  • determining an energy usage and peak load profile for the total population of homes based on physical parameters of each home;

    segregating the total population of homes into the plurality of subset populations by a randomizing distribution routine; and

    controlling each subset population independently for a demand response event to operate each subset population independently in a normal operating mode and an energy savings mode based on a state of an energy supplying utility that is indicative of at least one of a peak demand period and an off peak-demand period,wherein the demand response event is executed for the total population by each subset population responding dependently via an incoming communication message.
