Abstract
An embodiment of the invention provides a method for a utility consumption advisor, wherein a target electricity consumption for a predefined time period is received with a user interface. User parameters are also received with the user interface, the user parameters including a list of electricity consumption items that may not be modified, a list of electricity consumption items that may be modified, and a range of modification for each of the listed electricity consumption items that may be modified. The user's electricity consumption history is determined; and, an electricity utilization plan is generated for the predefined time period with a processor. The electricity utilization plan is generated based on the target electricity consumption, the user parameters, and the user's electricity consumption history. The electricity utilization plan is implemented by wirelessly controlling the electricity consumption items that may be modified.
