Electricity charge management apparatus and its recording medium

(Amended) A computer-readable recording medium on which an electricity charge management program has been recorded that manages electricity charges according to the amount of electrical power used during a prescribed time period by an electrical power load;

• wherein,
• said electricity charge management program runs in a computer:
• a step for accumulating the value of the amount of electrical power used in a unit time obtained by fractionating said prescribed time period by said electrical power load,
• a step for calculating a dissociation ratio, which is the ratio of the target amount of electrical power during each unit time to the average amount of electrical power used of the unit time, based on said target value of the amount of electrical power used during said prescribed time period and the value of the amount of electrical power used during each said unit time,
• a step for calculating the target value of the amount of electrical power used during each unit time based on a preset target value of the amount of electrical power used during said prescribed time period, the amount of electrical power used during each unit time, and said dissociation ratio, and
• a step for controlling the amount of electrical power used by said electrical power load based on said calculated target value of the amount of electrical power used during each unit time.
