1. An electrical system, comprising:
- at least one power port; and
an electrical socket coupled to the at least one power port, wherein the electrical socket includes a housing, at least one opening oriented to receive at least one power cord from at least one electrical load, and at least one monitoring and control device positioned within said housing, said at least one monitoring and control device comprising;
a load control module configured to control an amount of electrical power transmitted to the at least one electrical load, said load control module further configured to;
receive a power control command from a power system;
transmit a power control acknowledgement to the power system; and
implement the power control command after transmitting the power control acknowledgment.
