A method for demand response dispatch having validation, estimation, and editing (VEE) rules for performing VEE on interval-based energy consumption streams, includes providing tagged energy consumption data sets having groups of contiguous interval values that correspond to correct data; for the each of the tagged energy consumption data sets, creating anomalies having different durations using only the groups; generating estimates for the anomalies by employing estimation techniques; selecting a corresponding one of the estimation techniques for subsequent employment; receiving post VEE readings and forecasted outside temperatures and estimating future cumulative energy consumption of facilities, and predicting a reception time for a demand response program event when the cumulative energy consumption exceeds a specified threshold; and preparing actions to control each of the facilities to optimally shed energy specified in a dispatch order, and optimally shedding the energy upon reception of the dispatch order at the reception time.
