How to send acknowledgement reports

Acknowledgement reports are required to send when as soon as possible after receiving LPCRequested event.

Reporting acknowledgement

When given a list of targets that should limit power consumption for some time in an LPC event, you should report back which of those targets will be able to comply. acknowledgedTargets are those targets that can commit to the LPC event in its entirety. If a target cannot fulfill what is asked, or can only partially act on the event, then add the resource to declinedTargets.

The payload payloadType property must be set to ResourceLPCAcknowledged.

Behind-the-meter locations

You can also report LocationLPCAcknowledged for “Behind-the-meter” locations. Please contact someone in Spark if you want more information about LPC for these types of locations.
