Os impactos da crise energética de 2001 e seus reflexos em usos alternativos de energia: uma revisão Bibliográfica

Abstract

Electricity plays a fundamental role in human life, economic progress and services related to electricity, the same thing produced by almost 90% of hydroelectric power plants. Between 1990 and 2000, non-Brazilian installed capacity expanded by only 35% while consumption increased by 49%, with the country's first energy crisis occurring in 2001. This was one of the reasons that caused this episode and as conditioning factors of rationing. Despite the immense Brazilian potential and the advantages shown, the use of alternative energy sources is still mostly associated with Federal and State programs aimed at serving rural and isolated populations in the North, Northeast and Central West, which makes it impossible to expanded in the industry. This study presents measures adopted by Federal Management to generate a balance between supply and demand in the seven years. The objective was to describe the most relevant phases of the Brazilian electricity scenario without the 2001 energy crisis, including its reflections in the present day through a bibliographical review. Through a chronological presentation, it was possible to describe the crisis without the Brazilian energy sector of 2001, concluding that as measures adopted by the government to reduce the consumption of electric energy through alternative energies, besides presenting itself as a better strategic alternative, resulted in a new scenario in the electric sector, which in addition to being financially attractive is also an investment in sustainability.
