This paper discusses the successful use of System Dynamics in the electric power industry. It begins with a list of studies and articles documenting extensive use of System Dynamics to aid corporate and government planners around the world. I then speculate on why this particular industry has been the focus of so many System Dynamics project for Bonneville Power Administration in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. Reflecting on the Bonneville project, I observe two important trends. The first is a trend toward interactive models that are easier for group operation. The second is a trend toward more attention on the consumers of electric power. The paper concludes with results from a recent study of the world aluminum industry, an industry that consumes a tremendous amount of electric power.
