Changes with the developments in the energy and electricity market brought the current issue of development models that allow the participation of all users to the consumer market. These models are essential, especially for household and commercial customers who represent the largest percentage of clients for the electricity company. Also a campaign for installing electronic measurements groups is extremely expensive and uneconomic. For these consumers the alternative is the continued use of traditional meters and estimation of load curves, which form the basis of billing schedules and closing balances. In this paper load profiles curves for gas stations will be studied whit SPSS software using cluster technique for the purpose of allowing them to participate to the electricity market.
