Abstract
Residential electricity consumption doubled during the seventies, continued to show high growth rates during the eighties, and averaged 6% per year during 1990-96. About 92% of the households in Brazil are electrified (IBGE 1995). Growth in residential electricity demand, partly as a result from the economic stabilization plan, was the primary factor causing total electricity use to rise rapidly in the past three years. Residential electricity demand is expected to continue to rise faster than total demand in the next decade, as a consequence of population growth (1.6% per year, IBGE projections) and increase in per capita consumption (2.0% per year, ELETROBRÁS projections), since the main end-uses are not saturated.
