Aplicação do método de avaliação econômica do programa de eficiência energética da ANEEL em um hotel de Foz do Iguaçu – PR

Abstract

The high rates of consumption of electric energy mobilized several countries to seek alternatives to rationalize this consumption through the application of energy efficiency, whose implementation of their measures also enables economic development. Brazil has the procedures of the Energy Efficiency Program - PROPEE, approved by Normative Resolution No. 830/2018, among other norms that support the incorporation of renewable energies and increase of energy efficiency alternatives. Therefore, this study is based on the implementation of some Brazilian energy policies and the observation of the impact caused by them in a hotel establishment in the city of Foz do Iguaçu - Paraná. The evaluation of the energy consumption of the hotel revealed some areas of intervention, in order to reduce the consumption of electric energy. This research analyzed the economic-financial advantages obtained by replacing a lighting system in the hotel segment, taking into account technical, economic and financial factors, estimated periods of return on investment, together with reduction of energy consumption and annual savings, so that the initial investment was justified. The measure implemented was the replacement of lighting systems with LED technology. By applying such a measure, there was a reduction of approximately 53% in electricity consumption related to the hotel's lighting system with a return period of 43 months, taking into account the IPCA of the period.
