<p>An Internet-based method (500) for managing a utility by presenting allocated utility capacity to a customer, presenting a predicted load profile to a customer, presenting available utility capacity, and transferring available utility capacity between entities according to an established transfer policy (505). The allocated utility capacity includes permitted utility consumption during a certain future period of time. The predicted load profile includes predicted utility consumption of the customer for each certain future period of time and is presented such that any variation between the allocated utility capacity and the predicted load profile is readily apparent.</p> |
