The invention belongs to the field of electric appliance regulation and control and in particular, relates to a method for adjusting and controlling electrical load. The method comprehensively takes account of user demands (user-set electric appliance shutdown list), user historical control habits (electrical load historical shutdown records), and the electrical load magnitude order, and uses the user historical control habits as a priority for adjusting and controlling electrical appliances, namely with the exception of the electrical appliances set by the user and required to be turned off, the larger the number of user historical shutdown times of a certain electrical appliance is, the high the priority for adjusting and controlling the electrical appliance is. Electrical load adjusting and controlling schemes are provided respectively based on two cases whether to necessarily or selectively turn off the electrical appliances in the user-set electric appliance shutdown list, which fully embodies a good user-friendly characteristic of and an experience-oriented service aim.
