Claim:
1. A method for modular implementation of a utility consumption management system for a site, the method comprising: providing a modular measurement device at the site, the modular measurement device being enabled to gather consumption data at the site by attachment of the modular measurement device to an electrical system at the site; gathering consumption data of the electrical system over time using the modular measurement device; detecting an excess consumption pattern in the consumption data that is optimizable with a modular control device, the modular control device being a separate device from the modular measurement device, the modular control device being customized to reduce the excess consumption pattern; providing the modular control device at the site in response to gathering the consumption data over time using the modular measurement device, the modular control device being connected to the electrical system in addition to the modular measurement device, wherein the modular control device is enabled to optimize the excess consumption pattern by managing consumption of electricity at the site; detecting an excess consumption pattern in the consumption data that is optimizable with a modular mitigation device, the modular mitigation device comprising an energy storage system charged from a utility grid, the energy storage system having a storage capacity, the storage capacity corresponding to the detected excess consumption pattern, the modular mitigation device being correlated with the excess consumption pattern; delivering or installing the modular mitigation device at the site, the modular mitigation device being enabled to optimize the excess consumption pattern by providing energy at the site, the modular mitigation device being delivered or installed in response to detecting the excess consumption pattern that is optimizable with the modular mitigation device, the modular mitigation device being controllable by the modular control device.
