Abstract: An Internet-based utility management system that presents estimated utility prices, usage terms, and a predicted load profile to a customer. The estimated utility prices include predicted prices of a utility during certain future periods of time. The usage terms include a utility usage threshold for each certain future period of time below which the estimated price applies. The predicted load profile includes predicted utility usage of the customer for each certain future period of time and presented such that any variation between the usage terms and the predicted load profile is readily apparent.

Abstract: An Internet-based method 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. 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. The available utility capacity includes an amount by which allocated utility capacity exceeds predicted utility consumption during each certain future period of time.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for displaying a graphical user interface. The graphical user interface includes a load profile of a customer and a slider bar. The slider bar is used to set a reduced peak demand level. Approximate potential savings are displayed to the customer at the reduced peak demand level.
