The demand and price forecasting become important and play an important role for the market participants. Accurate forecasting tools are essential for producers to maximize their profits, avowing profit losses over the misjudgment of future price movements and for consumers to maximize their utilities. This study proposes two step forecast model by the Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) to forecast one hour ahead demand and price of electricity. A three-layer BP (Back-Propagation) model was designed to train the historical data, then it was tested to predict both demand and price of electricity. In this study, the data from Queensland electricity market of Australia is used and promising results were obtained.} }
