Method, system, computer program and computer readable storage medium for providing a load control pattern to at least one appliance load component of a

A electric or power load control pattern is provided to at least one appliance electric load component of a building 2, which has several appliance electric load components. Electric load data related to the building 2, is collected or sensed S1, e.g. aggregate electric load profile of the building 2, electric tariff. An output profile is generated S2 depending on all information related to the building 2 which is characteristic for a load shifting pattern and/or for a load curtailing pattern. At least one load control pattern is generated S3 for the building 2 depending on the output profile. Th load control pattern is provided S4 to an appliance load component.
