1. A power calculation apparatus, comprising:
a microprocessor and a memory connected to the microprocessor, wherein the microprocessor is configured to perform calculating an amount of power suppliable to a power system by an energy source connectable, at a connection point, to the power system and capable of power generation and power storing, the calculating comprising:
specifying a position of the connection point of the energy source in connection with the power system;
acquiring capacity information indicating a power generation capacity or a remaining storage capacity of the energy source; and
calculating the amount of power suppliable by the energy source to the power system in an area within a predetermined range including the connection point, based on the capacity information and the position of the connection point.
