Abstract

The present invention provides a processing apparatus (10) including: an acquiring unit (11) which acquires an adjustment request specifying a control time period and a control amount for controlling power demand; a determining unit (12) which, on the basis of the adjustment request, determines a first consumer whose power demand is to be controlled, and a control amount of the first consumer and a time period during which power demand of the first consumer is controlled; and an inference unit (13) which infers whether, if power demand of the first consumer were controlled in accordance with a determination result made by the determining unit (12), power demand of the first consumer before and/or after control would change from power demand of the first consumer if the power demand were not controlled.
