This study presents application of particle swarm optimization (PSO) and genetic algorithm (GA) methods to estimate electricity demand in Iran's industrial sectors, based on economic indicators. The economic indicators used in this study are number of customers, gross domestic product (GDP), electricity production and price. The models developed in two forms (exponential and linear). Electricity consumption in Iran's industrial sector from 1981 to 2005 is considered as the case of this study. The available data is partly used for finding the optimal, or near optimal, values of the weighting parameters (1981-1999) and partly for testing the models (2000-2005). For the best results of GA, the relative error averages were 1.13% and 1.29% for GA - DEMexponential and GA - DEMlinear and for PSO were 1.03% and 1.69% for PSO - DEMexponential and PSO - DEMlinear. Electricity consumption is forecasted up to year 2030.
