Abstract

Systems and techniques for displaying a graphical user interface (700). The graphical user interface (700) includes a load profile (720) of a customer and a slider bar (730). The slider bar (730) is used to set a reduced peak demand level. Approximate potential savings are displayed to the customer at the reduced peak demand level.
