On the other hand, the amount of power supply indicated by the measurement data is compared with the amount of power supply indicated by the pre-planned data on power supply, and the amount of power supply obtained from the measurement data is compared with the pre-planned amount on power supply. If the power supply amount is less than the planned power supply amount indicated by the data, the server apparatus 100 determines the amount of compensation for the supplier based on the amount of power supply determined from the measurement data, as settlement processing, and selects the first amount from the amount of compensation. The amount after subtracting the amount of the penalty is determined as the consideration for the supplier.

On the other hand, if the amount of power supply determined from the measurement data is greater than the planned amount of power supply indicated by the pre-scheduled data on the power supply, the server apparatus 100 performs the payment processing to supply the power determined from the measurement data. The amount of consideration for the supplier may be determined based on the quantity, and the amount obtained by adding the amount to be given to the amount of consideration may be determined as the consideration for the supplier. As another example, if the amount of power supply determined from the measurement data is greater than the planned amount of power supply indicated by the pre-scheduled data on the power supply, the server device 100 performs the payment process based on the amount of power determined from the measurement data. The amount of consideration for the supplier may be determined based on the amount of power supply, and the amount obtained by subtracting the amount of the second penalty from the amount of consideration may be determined as the consideration for the supplier.

In SQ309, the server device 100 transmits the settlement processing result to the client device 110. FIG.
