Abstract

The electricity sector is fundamental to the development of a country, and therefore requires constant attention and consequent planning. Brazil, despite being a country of continental dimensions, with potential for electrical generation from several sources, today has an electrical matrix based predominantly on hydroelectricity. Nowadays the water source is responsible for generating about 63.38% of all the electric potential generated in the country, while the second most used source, fossil, is responsible for the generation of only 16.13% of this potential. Therefore, in view of the need to expand alternative forms to hydraulic energy, the present work makes a brief analysis of the Brazilian Electric Matrix, as a way of justifying the presented problem and also for information. At the end of the research, it will be possible to confirm the exaggerated dependence that the Brazilian electric matrix has on the water source, mainly by hydroelectric plants. The need to diversify the Brazilian electric matrix will also be confirmed and a brief movement towards this diversification will be noted.
