An apparatus that generates a power model for an electronic device, an apparatus that operates in accordance with a generated power model, and methods for generating a power for an electronic device are disclosed. In a particular embodiment, a method of generating a power model for the electronic device includes reducing training data to identify a subset of operating parameters of an electronic device that contribute most to power consumption of the electronic device and generating the power model for the electronic device based on the reduced training data. The power model is operative to predict a power consumption value corresponding to the electronic device responsive to a set of operating parameter values corresponding to operation of the electronic device.
