Abstract

This article aims to analyze the regional integration process from the perspective of energy interconnection between countries, taking as an example the electrical interconnection between Brazil and Uruguay, which currently occurs through cross-border transmission lines between the municipalities of Santana do Livramento (RS) / Rivera (UR) and Candiota (RS) / Melo (UR). In addition, it seeks to analyze possible repercussions of the last interconnection in coal mining for the generation of electric energy in the Campanha (RS) region. The research was qualitative, with documentary analysis of secondary sources and partial balance of the literature on the subject. The results point to the importance of interconnections to ensure sufficient supply of electricity in critical periods, as well as indicating the importance of the role of coal-fired thermal plants for the generation of firm energy, correcting the effects of water or wind seasonality and ensuring security to the Brazilian and Uruguayan systems.
