The American Power Dispatcher's Association, Inc (APDA) is an international organization of over 2000 system operators, load dispatchers, and power marketers from across the United States, Canada and New Zealand who collectively exercise control of the interconnected electric power system.

The APDA was formed in 1946 by power system dispatchers of the electric utilities located in the northwestern United States who believed the Association would be of benefit to themselves and management.

More information on the benefits of APDA membership is available on our Membership page.
