A method for reducing an amount of power consumed includes reading loads from meters of customers, predicting a future total load from the read loads, determining whether the future total load exceeds a threshold value, sending a request message including terms to at least one of the customers when the future total load exceeds the threshold value, and adjusting an electric bill of a corresponding one of the customers for a period of time based on whether the customer adhered to the terms.
