1. A control device for a hydrogen system that produces hydrogen by first power supplied from a renewable-energy power generator and second power supplied from a power grid, the device comprising:
a first setter configured to set, in a demand-response request period in advance, a baseline indicating a first power consumption amount of the second power to be consumed when there is no request of demand response;
a second setter configured to set an actual power consumption amount obtained by reducing a reduced power amount from the first power consumption amount in advance, when the demand response for reducing the first power consumption amount in the request period is requested; and
a controller configured to control a power amount of the second power in the request period based on the actual power consumption amount, wherein
the second setter is configured to set the actual power consumption amount in a range in which the hydrogen system is able to achieve a target amount of hydrogen to be produced in a first period that includes the request period and is longer than the request period.
