Load forecasting is very important for planning and operation in power system energy management. It reinforces the energy efficiency and reliability of power systems. Problems of power systems are tough to solve because power systems are huge complex graphically, widely distributed and influenced by many unexpected events. It has taken into consideration the various demographic factors like weather, climate, and variation of load demands. In this paper, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) models were used to analyse data collection obtained from the Metrological Department of Malaysia. The data sets cover a seven-year period (2009- 2016) on monthly basis. The ANN and ANFIS were used for long-term load forecasting. The performance evaluations of both models that were executed by showing that the results for ANFIS produced much more accurate results compared to ANN model. It also studied the effects of weather variables such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, rainfall, actual load and previous load on load forecasting. The simulation was carried out in the environment of MATLAB software.
