Interconnection of power system is a key one to route power plant operation optimally with a diminishing rate of active power generation, in encountering the growing demand. Reduction of fuel consumption is one of the objective for the steam run power plants by assigning source power to every component (economic dispatch) focus to equal and unequal limitations optimally. This importance is due to power savings. ELD is the utmost significant issues to be resolved in the process and forecasting of a electrical system. This work presents an approach of Genetic Algorithm (GA) for finest load scheduling of steam run power plants to catch the universal optimum dispatch clarification. The genetic set of rules centered best approach explains the ELD problem. The core indication behind genetic set of rules is, all units should allocate the essential power load at lowest coal cost, though sustaining the coordination limitations. Simulation is executed on assessment system with six generators using Mat-lab. The results are shown for 24 hour loads with optimal generation of 6 generators including transmission losses and cost of real power generation.
