PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system capable of selecting, in order to deal with free electricity transactions combining commercial materials other than electricity accompanying electric power deregulation, the least expensive menu form a variety of electricity bill menus, issuing a warning so as to prevent an electricity bill from exceeding the preset target upper limit of electricity bills corresponding to the menu.SOLUTION: This warning system calculates how much an electric load should be cut of in a given time zone so as not to exceed the target upper limit of electricity bills set by electricity users on the basis of the amount of used power at each fixed time obtained from a smart meter and information about a time zone relevant to the amount, and notifies people responsible for energy conservation among the electricity users of the cut-off level by different types of warning sounds by using an Internet environment.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】電力自由化に伴い電気以外の商材を組み合わせた自由な電気売買が可能になるため、その多種にわたる電気料金メニューから最安値となるメニューを選択し、またそのメニューに対応し、あらかじめ設定した電気料金の目標上限額を超過しないように警報を発令するシステムを提供すること。【解決手段】スマートメーターから得られる一定時間ごとの電力使用量とその該当する時間帯の情報を基に、電気需要家が設定した電気料金の目標上限額を超過しないよう、どの時間帯にどの程度の電気負荷を遮断したら良いか算出し、インターネット環境を利用して、電気需要家の省エネ担当者に、その遮断レベルを音種の違う警報音によって知らせる。【選択図】図１
