Resumo
The following research approaches the interaction between the technological paradigm subjacent to the Brazilian energetic power nucleus and environment, centralising on the electricity generation centre, in a sustainable growth perspective. One searches to think over whether the Brazilian power supply crisis noticed in April 2001 and consequent actions and as well as quests for solutions to the resolution of the same, tends to solve or block the sector development and the Brazilian economy in a perspective of economic growth associated to social equity and environmental protection, according to what s been prioritised by sustainable development concept. Hence, the technological options for currently used powergenerating techniques and those in discussion are analysed regarding its positive and negative aspects in terms of generating environmental external influences. Technological innovation is focused as an alternative capable of changing the hydrocarbon paradigm predominant in the world power supply generation. One does a historical rescue of the sector development, also approaching the main reforms on the Brazilian electric institutional sector up to the current configuration aimed at knowing the new sector agents involved in the regulatory process, integration, and support. Through the analysis of internal or external conditioners, one can figure their capability of contributing or delaying the adoption of a sustainable trajectory for the national electric sector. The achieved conclusion is, despite worrying on maintaining its energetic nucleus clean, Brazil, at a first moment, provided the acquiring of a Priority Thermoelectric Program , that even though having a complementary character to the actual generating park, will be able to contribute to an energetic dependence on a pollutant fossil combustible, amongst other existent possibilities, without ensuring the inexistence of the future supply crisis. The transformation in concepts, as well as society values will indeed contribute for the restructuring of global energetic economy, boosting the renewable sources portion within the world energetic nucleus and will allow humanity economic progress growth, facing a wider continuing power demand in the future.
