Um modelo para projeções para demanda por energia elétrica, 2009-2017 e a evolução do custo social e tarifa ótima para o Brasil

Abstract

Through theory and econometric instrumentals, this work intends to estimate the behavior of Electric Energy’s Demand Curve to Brazil, through the behavior of important variables for residential sector, industrial and commercial sectors. It’s important to achievement for futures projections that enable to know if installed capacity is enough to answer Energy demand. Using Co-integration concept, were estimated the Vector Error Correction, used to project the demand to the period of 2009-2017. There were some obstacles regarding the estimation of the curve of the industrial sector with respect to the variable IPA-OG industrial machinery and equipment and IPA-OG fuels and lubricants, where their estimated coefficients were inconclusive. Energy consumption by the residential sector is showing increasing but at a decreasing rate, and was influenced by the efficiency of consumption (consumer behavior on the part of the post-rationing and the use of more efficient equipment for the use of electricity). As results, the Energy’s demand is growing and may be superior to installed capacity. Was introduced the Social Cost Politic concept to Energy’s demand and the results show that it politics can reduce the demand, and it can be used as a restrictive measure to Energy’s demand, rather than aggressive restrictive politics.
