Abstract
A server includes a communicator and a processor. The communicator is configured to receive a reservation request signal requesting a reservation to use a charging station by an electrified vehicle. The reservation request signal includes information indicating that balancing power control is requested, when the electrified vehicle wants to perform the balancing power control. The processor is configured to set, based on the reservation request signal, a reservation time period during which the electrified vehicle uses the charging station. The processor is configured to set the reservation time period to a longer period when the reservation request signal includes the information indicating that the balancing power control is requested than when the reservation request signal does not include the information indicating that the balancing power control is requested.
