	<span lang=\"EN-US\">Economic Load Dispatch (ELD) is a process of scheduling the required load demand among available generation units such that the fuel cost of operation is minimized. The ELD problem is formulated as a nonlinear constrained optimiza</span><span lang=\"EN-US\">tion problem with both equality and inequality constraints. In this paper, two test systems of the ELD problems are solved by adopting the Cuckoo Search (CS) Algorithm. A comparison of obtained simulation results by using the CS is carried out against six other swarm intelligence algorithms: Particle Swarm Optimization, Shuffled Frog Leaping Algo</span><span lang=\"EN-US\">rithm, Bacterial Foraging Optimization, Artificial Bee Colony, Harmony Search and Firefly Algorithm. The effective</span><span lang=\"EN-US\">ness of each swarm intelligence algorithm is demonstrated on a test system comprising three-generators and other con</span><span lang=\"EN-US\">taining six-generators. Results denote superiority of the Cuckoo Search Algorithm and confirm its potential to solve the ELD problem.</span><span lang=\"EN-US\"><!--?xml:namespace prefix = o /--><o:p></o:p></span>
