Regarding its energy matrix, it is observed the country uses mainly renewable resources; however, they are still underexploited, especially wind and solar energy. In recent years, the Brazilian government has implemented energy access public policy with some success, called Light for All Programme (Programa Luz Para Todos). However, it remains the need to expand the access, which can be implemented through renewable energy equipments. The main current challenge is expand energy access to the Brazilian Amazon region. The proposal to achieve full energy access for Brazilian rural or isolated population is by using different resources, such as small-scale water resources, biomass through dedicated and residual form and exploitation of wind and solar energy potentials.
