INTERMEDIATE DEVICE FOR POWER MANAGEMENT AND RELATED POWER-MANAGEMENT METHOD

The device has a communication bus (24) e.g. multi-pair cable, for obtaining input management information in conformity with a format of predetermined information from an electric meter (10). Output channels (26, 28) have associated priority level, where one of the output channels is connected to be connected to unballasting devices (12, 14). A generation unit generates output management information associated respectively to each output channel from the input management information and the associated priority levels, where the output management information conforms to predetermined format. An independent claim is also included for a method for managing energy.
