Automatic management of demand for non-durables like electrical energy, gas, thermal energy and fresh water is provided by a two-way communication network between a Multi Utility provider and many respective End-users. Specialized electronic boxes at the End-users' premises receive broadcast control signals from the Multi Utility provider, initiate metering action and transmit to the Multi Utility Provider uplink return signals containing instant or semi-instant non-durables consumption values, thereby collectively influencing the market pricing of non-durables. |
