PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an adapter 20a which is used by being connected to an air conditioner in order to respond to a power consumption adjustment request DM, and which can allow an air conditioner to surely perform an operation of desired power adjustment.SOLUTION: An adapter 20a includes: a wireless communication unit 61 for receiving a power consumption adjustment request DM; and an instruction unit 62. The instruction unit generates a power adjustment instruction CM for an air conditioner to perform according to the power consumption adjustment request DM, and transmits it to the air conditioner. The instruction unit 62 has: a first instruction generation unit 62a for generating the power adjustment instruction CM from the power consumption adjustment request of a first request form; and a second instruction generation unit 62b for generating the power adjustment instruction CM from the power consumption adjustment request of a second request form. The first instruction generation unit 62a and the second instruction generation unit 62b both generate the power adjustment instruction CM by the same instruction form. 【課題】消費電力調整要求ＤＭに応じるために空気調和機に接続して用い、空気調和機に所望の電力調整の運転を確実に行わせることができるアダプタ２０ａを提供する。【解決手段】アダプタ２０ａは、消費電力調整要求ＤＭを受信する無線通信部６１と、指示部６２とを備える。指示部は、消費電力調整要求ＤＭに応じて空気調和機に行わせる電力調整指示ＣＭを生成し、空気調和機に送る。指示部６２は、第１の要求形式の消費電力調整要求から電力調整指示ＣＭを生成する第１指示生成部６２ａと、第２の要求形式の消費電力調整要求から電力調整指示ＣＭを生成する第２指示生成部６２ｂとを有する。第１指示生成部６２ａおよび第２指示生成部６２ｂは、共に同じ指示形式で電力調整指示ＣＭを生成する。【選択図】図２
