The motivation of this work comes from the union of an intense scenario of warnings about the need for energy transition and the specialization course of Renewable Sources. Energy transition can be defined as the way to transform the current energy sector, which is heavily reliant on fossil fuels, into a sector with renewable sources of low CO2 emissions. This study contributes to a broader view of the Brazilian Electricity Matrix and the Energy Transition in Brazil, addressing the evolution of both themes so far, and evaluating the projections for the coming years. For the approach of the Brazilian electric matrix is made a survey of the main renewable resources available in Brazil and their respective potentials. Then we dive into the main theme of the study that is the energy transition, globally and specifically in Brazil. The focus is to present how Brazil is positioning itself in the effective energy transition, listing the main difficulties so far and the challenges ahead. Finally we use the northeast electric subsystem to evaluate the main effects of the energy transition, since it is a subsystem with intensive insertion of new renewable sources such as wind and solar.
