Claim 0:
1. A system that provides utility portal interfaces to utility provider computer systems for planning demand response events, the system comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more memory devices comprising instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
generating a utility portal interface in response to a request from a utility provider computer system of a utility provider;
receiving, from the utility provider computer system through the utility portal interface, parameters representative of a demand response event;
providing, to the utility provider computer system through the utility portal interface, a display of a plurality of groups of energy-consuming locations that are available to be selected to participate in the demand response event;
providing, to the utility provider computer system through the utility portal interface, information representative of a number of demand response participation events remaining to be used for each group from among a number of times each group can participate in demand response events for a particular season or time interval;
providing, to the utility computer system through the utility portal interface, a display representative of energy demand for the utility provider during the demand response event;
receiving, from the utility computer system through the utility portal interface, a selection of a subset of the plurality of groups of energy-consuming locations to participate in the demand response event;
causing the display of the display representative of energy demand for the utility during the demand response event to be dynamically updated as the subset of the plurality of groups of energy-consuming locations are selected or deselected by the utility computer system to participate in the demand response event; and
sending at least one transmission that causes the subset of the plurality of groups of energy-consuming locations to be participants in the demand response event.
