An incentive can be obtained by following the demand response from a power company, however, in some cases, the operation amount of the hydrogen generation apparatus changes, and eventually it becomes difficult to satisfy the hydrogen demand. The present invention provides a planning apparatus for creating an operation plan for a hydrogen production system including a hydrogen generation apparatus, comprising: an acquisition portion for acquiring a demand response from a power operator; and an operation planning portion for creating the operation plan based on the demand response before a target period of the operation plan and at least one of a electricity price, a demand amount of hydrogen and an amount of stored hydrogen before the target period.
