An optimal calculation method of an energy operating condition in an iron mill includes calculating, using a total energy operation cost of the iron mill within a predetermined period of time from a current time as an evaluation function, an operation condition of an energy facility in the iron mill as a decision variable such that a value of the evaluation function decreases, at each predetermined time within the predetermined period of time, based on actual values and estimated values of a generation amount and a used amount of energy utility for each of factories comprised in the iron mill. The method includes a step of calculating the decision variable by imposing an equality constraint such that the decision variable related to a power generation facility included in the energy facility is constant within a predetermined aggregation time.
