A priority control method performed by a power management apparatus configured to determine an order of priority with respect to power supplied to a consuming device at a target location in a power system that includes a plurality of locations between which power is interchanged,

• wherein the target location includes at least the consuming device, a power generation unit configured to generate power from natural energy, a power storage unit, and a commercial power source,
• wherein the method comprises:
• determining, based on a predetermined evaluation axis, an order of priority among a plurality of controlled objects including at least power supply from the power generation unit, power supply from the power storage unit, power supply from the commercial power source, and power consumption reduction by transferring a load from the consuming device;
• and
• setting the order of priority for the target location.

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions executable by a computer system to perform operations by a power management apparatus comprising:

• determining, based on a predetermined evaluation axis, an order of priority among a plurality of controlled objects including at least power supply from a power generation unit configured to generate power from natural energy, power supply from a power storage unit, power supply from a commercial power source, and power consumption reduction by transferring a load from a consuming device;
• and
• setting the order of priority for a target location,
• wherein the target location including at least the consuming device, the power generation unit, the power storage unit, and the commercial power source.
