Análise de práticas ambientais aplicadas em redes de energia elétrica em áreas rurais

Abstract

The distribution of electrical energy is an important service and input, being fundamental to the quality of human life in society. Offering energy and making it available to consumers in an adequate way, both in urban and rural areas, is the mission of energy distributors. This work presents a contextualization of how the implementation of an energy network needs to overcome challenges of a legal nature and practices aimed at the environmental sustainability of the environment in which they are located, with certain aspects and challenges requiring a multidisciplinary perspective of knowledge, mainly to address those related to environmental impacts. Due to professional and field experience in working on the topic, the author of this work presents some practices applied to minimize some environmental impacts, which are currently considered to be good and innovative practices with regard to the subject, aiming to meet the concept of sustainability in electricity networks in rural areas. The work presents impact minimization techniques, combined with relevant legal standards. In this way, this work intends to contribute to expanding the analysis, debate and reflection on the topic of energy distribution in the context presented, since it is directly or indirectly related to various areas that affect society in the environmental scope. Thus, with the case studies presented, the aim is to carry out an analysis of compliance with the legal issue, from an environmental point of view, and identify possible technical and technological improvements to processes and projects. Three practices that contribute to the aspect of environmental sustainability in the supply of electrical energy in delimited locations and designated as rural areas were identified and analyzed.
