ELECTRICITY CONTRACT SUPPORT SYSTEM AND ELECTRICITY CONTRACT SUPPORT METHOD

摘要

The present invention reduces the burden on a customer when signing an electricity contract. The electricity contract support system 1 acquires, via a communication network 5, information pertaining to an electricity rate contract from each of multiple electricity providers, and a customer's electricity consumption history from a smart meter 20 (measuring device) that measures the amount of electricity consumed by the customer. The electricity contract support system 1 determines the electricity rate of each of the multiple electricity providers over a predetermined period in the past on the basis of the information pertaining to the electricity rate contracts of the multiple electricity providers and the electricity consumption history and outputs the determined electricity rates of the multiple electricity providers. In addition, the electricity contract support system 1 accepts an application for an electricity rate contract with an electricity provider and transmits the contract information about the application to the electricity provider side via the communication network.
