摘要

摘要本文旨在反思亚马逊地区水力发电对相互连接的巴西系统的战略重要性。其量化显示，与目前的盐前石油产量相比，该地区具有更高的发电潜力。我们从可再生能源地缘政治的角度来考虑这个问题，可再生能源带来了新的相关因素。在本文中，分析框架侧重于路径依赖、智能电网和能源密集型社会及其能源安全政策。因此，我们观察到，在目前的配置中，可再生能源的出现可能是亚马逊长期经济专业化的一个额外因素，从社会环境的角度来看，其后果令人担忧。

Hydropower and the geopolitics of renewable energies in the Amazon Basin

Abstract This article aims to reflect on the strategic importance of hydroelectric energy generated in the Amazon region for the interconnected Brazilian system. Its quantification shows a regional potential for higher energy generation compared to the current production of pre-salt oil. We consider this issue from the perspective of the geopolitics of renewable energy that brings new and relevant elements. In this article, the analytical framework focuses on path-dependence, smart-grids and energy-intensive societies and their energy security policies. As a result, we observe that in the current configuration, the advent of renewable energies can be an additional element of a long-term economic specialization of the Amazon, with worrying consequences from a socio-environmental perspective.
