Análise de fatores socioeconômicos em relação ao crescimento da geração distribuída no Estado de Goiás

Abstract

In the last years, it was seen a relevant growth of photovoltaic solar energy in Goiás. That development was driven by Goiás Solar program, which is a state program proposing photovoltaic energy and others renewable energy sources, expanding public policies in strategic areas aiming at the expansion of distributed generation in Goiás, acting during the years of 2017 and 2018. Thus, in the development of this research is presented the energy matrix’s state and it’s evolution as a producer of photovoltaic solar energy. The distributed generation can bring benefits, like job creations and income distribution. In this study, is proposed to analyze socioeconomics indexes in relation to distributed generation in Goiás, in order to investigate if there is correlation between these variables. This analyze was divided in two categories, state and regional analysis, comparing results obtained. Socioeconomics indexes were obtained from census accomplished by the Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística, as for the power data, referring to distributed generation, were obtained website’s Agência Nacional de Energia Elétrica. In order to analyze both variables the statistical method was used, applying math and graphics techniques. Applying the techniques, it was possible analyze four socioeconomics ratings, being obtained significants results referring to correlation between indices and installed power in distributed generation. The gross domestic product per capita’s results stands out in the state and regional scenario. Among the regions, south mesoregions stands out, with correlation values next or even higher than the state average. The existence of correlation between socioeconomics variables and power installed may mean that income distribution among it’s population makes a region more favorable to invest photovoltaic solar energy. Besides that, it is possible to use this study and results obtained to create publics policies for the development of distributed generation in the state of Goiás.
