Energia e desenvolvimento: análise da influência da noção de desenvolvimento nas decisões do setor elétrico

Abstract

This work aims at the comparative analysis of the evolution of the concept of development and the evolution of the Brazilian electricity sector in order to identify whether the first influenced the second. In chapter two, after the introduction, runs through the historical evolution of the development concept for the identification of the main characteristics of the concept and the delimitation of the period in which they were effective. It is used as a basis for analysis and the overall story as a supplementary means, Brazilian history to the extent that it helps understanding the various concepts of development. They were marked, from the historical development analysis, five distinct periods. These periods guide the following progressions work. The chapters three and four deal with the electricity sector. The first presents the historical evolution of the sector, giving greater attention to the movements that occurred in each period in order to understand which agents influenced the formation of the Brazilian energy matrix. The second emphasizes the composition of the Brazilian energy matrix and is structured through the analysis of available data for the sector. It is concluded that there is an interaction between the electric sector and the concept of current development in each time, but the assimilation of changes in the electricity sector development concept occur with some delay, to the extent that its structure is rigid.
