Infraestrutura de energia elétrica no nordeste: um estudo sobre Alagoas

Abstract

This Course Completion Work deals with the supply of electrical energy (generation, distribution and consumption) in the Northeast with details for Alagoas. Investments in electrical energy in the Northeast and in Alagoas were researched, considering investments from governments (federal and state) and public bodies (SUDENE, BNDES, PAC, etc.), these being the main agents in the creation and development of infrastructure in the energy sector, from 1950 to 2022. The objective is to analyze the energy sector in the Northeast with emphasis on the CHESF System, which is presented in detail, and distribution and consumption in the state of Alagoas (Ceal/Eletrobras), with emphasis on the municipality of Maceió. We seek to approach the energy sector considering the history, spatial scale of investments and the geographic location of the desired equipment. Recent transformations in the sector were also presented in this research, considering the diversification of sources and the privatization process, mainly Ceal/Eletrobras. The relevance of the energy sector is the basis for socioeconomic development, a result of the actions of public agents throughout the history of Brazil, the Northeast and Alagoas.
