Keywords:
Small Hydropower Plants (SHPs), Energy Efficiency, Repowering, Sustainable DevelopmentAbstract
To meet the demand for electricity, it is necessary to maintain a distributed energy matrix, focusing on renewable sources, taking into account the socio-environmental premises. By 2026, energy consumption in the country can reach 741 TWh and hydraulic power is the main source of supply. With great potential to be explored, especially in the state of Rondônia (Brazil), the Small Hydropower Plants (SHPs) are one of the main candidates in contributing to the growing energy demand. It is imperative that energy efficiency techniques and technologies, such as repowering, be used by public policies in order to promote sustainable development.
