Abstract

A control device is connected to power loads installed in a consumer facility so as to be able to communicate with the power loads. The control device includes: a control unit; and a display unit. The control unit determines the power loads and predicted power consumption when the power loads are used, determines at least one usable power load out of the power loads based on a remaining amount of available electric power in the consumer facility and the predicted power consumption, displays the usable power load on the display unit such that the usable power load is selectable, and controls use of the selected power load.
