In this study, it is tested the economic viability of twelve spacing alternatives with Eucalyptus grandis for firewood. The wood production was evaluated with eight years old and the price of the activities was obtained with coefficients from the region. In the revenue, it was considered the wood price from the market with bark and standing. The evaluation was made through five criteria: NPV, BCR, IRR, SEV and ACP. Considering the discount rate, all projects proved to be economically viable. The major production occurred in the densest plantations, however, they were not the best ones because of the economic criteria, due to the bigger immobilization of capital for the implantation. The spacing of 5,0 m²/plant presented the best results in all criteria, being the best alternative of investment for the energetic use.  Followed by the spacing of 7,5 m²/plant, that proved to be promising, because it allows to manage the forest aiming for multi-products. The alternatives with spacings which are lower than 3,75 m²/plant are not recommended.
