[en] In the next years, the expansion of the Brazilian Electric System will occur in a two large sub-systems structure: South-Southeast and North-Northeast. The interconnection between these systems are uncertain due the long distance between them. Hence, it seems more reasonable to study separately and the South-Southeast System was chosen because it is more important from the economic point of view. Some information concerning input data used in this study was estimated, therefore a thorough review of them must be done for more conclusive results. Hydro, coal and nuclear power plants were considered as candidates for an expansion plan starting in 1987 up to 2000. (Author)
