Today’s Economic Dispatch (ED) solutions are featured with environmental obligations. Hence, the significant objective functions contribute to cost minimization, lower emission and less total system losses. As an alternative, New Meta Heuristic Evolutionary Programming (NMEP) technique was proposed to optimize the individual ED problem categorized as Single Objective Environmental Economic Dispatch (SOEELD), developed from an integration of original Meta Heuristic Evolutionary Programming (Meta-EP) with Artificial Immune System (AIS) with new arrangement in the mutation and cloning processes. The comparative analysis was conducted between the original Meta-EP and classical method of Hadi Saadat to verify the performance of NMEP method. Each particular objective function identified the best possible outcomes through the NMEP method. The simulations were conducted using MATLAB programming which tested both standard IEEE 26 and 57 bus systems.
