Abstract: The HEMS controls equipment provided in a consumer. The HEMS comprises a transceiver unit that transmits a command to instruct processing executed by the equipment and a control unit that acquires start time information indicating a time from when the equipment receives the command to when the equipment starts processing according to the command from the equipment and controls the equipment based on the acquired start time information.

Abstract: A server comprises a notification unit that sends a power reduction request to a user terminal of a consumer; and a controller that acquires smart meter information sent from the user terminal when the consumer accepts the power reduction request. The smart meter information is information regarding a smart meter of a consumer facility that is a target for power reduction. The controller determines actual reduced power of the consumer facility based on the smart meter information.
