Energy matrix, Mato Grosso State, Renewable sourcesResumen
Electrical energy is crucial to socioeconomic growth, since it can serve the population for a variety of purposes. Due to territorial size and distribution issues, the initial energy production methods in Mato Grosso State, Brazil, were significantly critical. However, the availability of water has encouraged the development of hydroelectric projects. On the other hand, socio-environmental issues brought on by those activities have resulted in conflicts. This paper addresses a bibliographic survey on Mato Grosso's energy matrix and discusses the main challenges, opportunities, and evolutions of electricity, which are built on a foundation of the state's history and information available and gathered from state and federal agencies. Tables and graphs characterize values and expressive data of the state's energy matrix potential, identifying the hydric matrix as the primary source of power generation and the other sources as secondary ones. The state has shown a significant potential for energy production, although issues and constraints regarding distribution incentives towards renewable sources must be increased and complement energy generation at lower costs and impacts.
