Resumen
By 2020 5% average annual growth should raise national GDP to US$5.4 trillion and per capita income to US$25,900, but it will also raise demand for electricity by 69%. Solange Monteiro explains how Brazil’s growth could be even more spectacular if there were decisive changes in how the electricity sector operates, starting with a re-evaluation of the taxes and fees charged aspart of the electric bill. The report is supplemented by concise analyses of the prospects for wind, biomass, natural gas, nuclear, and cogeneration electricity production.- Favorable wind (Kalinka Iaquinto)- The future of natural gas (Kalinka Iaquinto)- Power field (Solange Monteiro)- The advantages of nuclear energy (Thais Thimoteo and Solange Monteiro)
