Zusammenfassung:Systems and methods of controlling the performance of client nodes served by an electric power utility are provided. In one exemplary embodiment, a method performed by a first network node that is operable to control via a client node an electric motor configured to operate a pump jack comprises sending, to the client node, an indication to change an amount of electric power consumed by the motor to operate the pump jack based on at least one of a value of a first parameter associated with operation of the motor and a value of a second parameter associated with operation of the pump jack so as to reduce an average amount of electric power consumed during a certain time period by the motor in operating the pump jack.
