Abstract
In a server, an acquisition unit obtains, from a vehicle through a communication apparatus, history information indicating that demand and supply of electric power has been performed for a power grid PG, and information on the state of charge of a battery. A control unit determines priorities of a plurality of DERs for a DR request. The control unit determines a priority of the vehicle so that the vehicle is less likely to be selected for the DR request, when the SOC obtained by the acquisition unit has changed although the acquisition unit has not received the history information.
