Resumo:
In the last years, with the development of the Country, there occurred a
great increase in the demand of electrical energy in Brazil, and in order to avoid
shortage and even its lack, it becomes clear the needs for increasing its availability for
domestic and principally industrial use. This increase is possible from two main
sources: (1) construction of new hydroelectric power plants and (2) rationalization of
the use of electrical energy through a better charges management, that may avoid or at
least diminish the losses.
