A system and a method remotely monitor electrical and/or mechanical equipmen t where a user may interactively alter the operation of a piece of equipment remotely. As the operation of a device may be altered remotely, a corresponding resource-consumption amount may also be remotely controlled an d adjusted. An embodiment of the present inventions is directed to remotely adjusting, or causing the remote adjustment, of the use, state, parameters o r characteristics of a device, process or both, for reducing resource demand and/or adding to the resource supply. The remote adjustment may originate fr om a user associated with the devices, a supplier of a resource for operation o f the devices, a utility industry participant, a third party, government entit y, a trader or any other entity. The adjustment of resource-consumption may be based on a triggered event/condition, a predetermined schedule or other defined scheme.
