Abstract: An electronic apparatus is provided. The electronic apparatus includes a communication interface, memory storing one or more computer programs, and one or more processors communicatively connected to the communication interface and the memory, wherein the one or more computer programs include computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the electronic apparatus to receive operation information of another electronic apparatus through the communication interface, identify a power consumption of the electronic apparatus and the other electronic apparatus based on the operation information of the electronic apparatus and the operation information of the other electronic apparatus, and based on the identified power consumption being equal to or greater than threshold power, change at least one of an operation of the electronic apparatus or an operation of the other electronic apparatus so that the identified power consumption is less than the threshold power.
