Análise do Plano Decenal de Expansão de Energia 2024 como ferramenta para estudos de engenharia.

Abstract

The planning to build and keep energetic resources in any country is absolutely necessary, not only to its economic growth, but, above all, to the good, safety and welfare of the population. So, the great goal of this planning it is to achieve independence regarding natural resources so that Brasil doesn’t go through any structural risk, like lack of power generation or fossil fuels. Because of that, the Decanal Plan for Power Expansion (PDE), elaborated by the Ministry of Mines and Energy since 2005, meets those expectations through a complex study about the behavior of the Brazilian energetic field along the years. In the electric field, the document analyses in a detailed way the scope of power generation and energy transmission in a ten-year horizon, beginning from 2015 until 2024. Projections studies are made to have a general and concise idea about the evolution of the country in the next ten years, economically and demographically, in a way to produce a notion about the needs of investments, especially regarding power generation, to support the demand in the next years.
