The supply and demand adjustment system includes: a supply and demand adjustment device; supply and demand arbitration terminals; and a supply and demand arbitration device. The supply and demand arbitration device determines an incentive target value, makes a request to each of the consumers to reduce usage of the energy within a range of the incentive target value, summarizes a reducible energy amount responsive to this request and given from each of the consumers in replies through the supply and demand arbitration terminals, and transmits the summarized amount to the supply and demand adjustment device. The supply and demand adjustment device and the supply and demand arbitration device make the supply and demand adjustment dynamically while changing the incentive target value.
