Original Abstract Submitted

The power supply controller controls the supply of electric power from a first power supply source to a predetermined facility having a first power supply destination and a second power supply destination, and also controls the supply of electric power to the predetermined facility from the second power supply source that is powered by a battery installed in a plurality of electric vehicles parked in a parking lot attached to the predetermined facility. The power supply controller prioritizes the first power supply source over the second power supply source when there is an abnormality in the first power supply source.
