DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY AND DEMAND, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY AND DEMAND, AND PROGRAM

摘要

The present invention makes it possible to create an appropriate plan for requesting a reduction in the amount of electrical power being purchased on the basis of an expectation value for the amount of reduced electrical power being purchased per consumer. The expectation value is determined on the basis of the remaining amount of storage cells for the consumer. An electrical power supply and demand control device (10) has a remaining amount acquisition part (11) and a setting part (12). The remaining amount acquisition part (11) acquires remaining amount information indicating the remaining amount of storage cells for a consumer. The setting part (12) sets an expectation value for the amount of reduced electrical power being purchased from a grid based on the consumer on the basis of the remaining amount information acquired by the remaining amount acquisition part (11). For example, a high expectation value is set for consumers having a large remaining amount of storage cells.
