  • Publication number: 20170330294
    Abstract: Provided is an electric power supply and demand control apparatus (10) including a remaining battery level acquisition unit (11) and a setting unit (12), in order to solve the aforementioned problems. The remaining battery level acquisition unit (11) acquires remaining battery level information indicating a remaining battery level of a storage battery of a consumer. The setting unit (12) sets an expectation value of a reduction in power purchase from a system performed by the consumer, on the basis of the remaining battery level information acquired by the remaining battery level acquisition unit (11). For example, a high expectation value is set for a consumer whose storage battery has a large remaining battery level.
