Licenciamento de subestações de energia em Goianinha/RN: avaliação do impacto ambiental

Abstract

Electricity is an essential pillar for the functioning and advancement of modern society, positively affecting various sectors and contributing to economic, social, and technological progress. However, supplying energy to consumers requires the implementation of projects that can impact the environment. In this context, environmental assessment plays a crucial role, seeking to reconcile economic and social development with environmental preservation. This document aims to explain the entire environmental licensing process for an electrical substation implemented in Goianinha/RN, listing all stages of the license, needs and requests from regulatory agencies, and environmental impact studies. In addition to the implementation phase, the operation of the substation was also considered. A survey of the entire law history in Brazil and in the state of Rio Grande do Norte was conducted to support this entire project, and the expected results are greater accuracy in the process so that all possible impacts can be mitigated in the best possible way.
