Abstract

A control apparatus includes: a target value obtaining unit obtaining a total target value of power to be discharged from storage batteries; an SOH obtaining unit obtain information on a state of health for each of the storage batteries; a charge control unit determining how the power of the total target value is divided among and discharged from each of the storage battery. The charge control unit (i) compares the state of health of a first storage battery and the state of health of a second storage battery, and, in the case where the state of health of the second storage battery is higher than the state of health of the first storage battery, (ii) discharges from the second storage battery second power lower than first power which is discharged from the first storage battery.
