1. A management server that manages an amount of demanded electric power of a plurality of consumer facilities, the management server comprising:
a processor; and
a memory configured to store a program which is able to be executed by the processor,
wherein the plurality of consumer facilities is organized into a plurality of groups,
wherein the plurality of groups includes a group including at least two consumer facilities of which amounts of demanded electric power are correlated with each other,
wherein a first consumer facility of the at least two consumer facilities includes a first communication system configured to transmit an amount of demanded electric power of the corresponding first consumer facility by supplying the amount of demanded electric power from a power network to the management server every first period,
wherein the memory is configured to store relationship information indicating a relationship between the amounts of demanded electric power of the at least two consumer facilities, and
wherein the processor is configured to:
calculate a total amount of demanded electric power of the plurality of groups based on the amount of demanded electric power transmitted from the first communication system and the relationship information; and
perform feedback-control of one or more power adjustment resources for adjusting electric power by charging power to or discharging power from one or more of the consumer facilities in response to output a demand-response request to the plurality of consumer facilities such that the total amount of demanded electric power matches a planned amount of electric power; wherein
the plurality of consumer facilities includes the first consumer facility and a second consumer facility, the first consumer facility including the first communication system, and the second consumer facility including a second communication system, wherein:
the first communication system is configured to supply an amount of demanded electric power of the corresponding first consumer facility to the management server every first period,
the second communication system is configured to supply an amount of demanded electric power of the corresponding second consumer facility to the management server every second period, the second period being longer than the first period, and
each of the plurality of groups includes at least one first consumer facility.
