Abstract

Methods, apparatus, computer readable media, and signals for managing utility usage are disclosed. Generally, each involves receiving a representation of a utility service usage at a load, receiving and storing a usage range representation, and producing a control signal for use by a utility service interrupter, when the usage is outside of the usage range representation. The control signal is operable to cause the utility service interrupter to interrupt a supply of the utility service to the load. Each also involves receiving a control signal indicating that a usage of the utility service at the load is outside of a usage range representation, and interrupting the supply of the utility service to the load in response to the control signal. A method, apparatus, computer readable medium, and signal for facilitating monitoring of subscriber usage of a utility service is also disclosed. Also, there is disclosed a method, apparatus, computer readable medium, and signals for billing a subscriber for utility service usage.
