Energia solar para comunidades rurais da Amazônia amapaense: premissas e narrativas

This paper aims to show the importance of energy inclusion as an inducer of development in small rural communities in Amapá, based on the experience of a public policy of the state government that provided funds for the acquisition of photovoltaic systems to entities representing these communities in 2022. Methodologically, it is characterized as a bibliographical review and a descriptive, explanatory work, with a qualitative approach to the analysis of technical reports and quantitative data on the funding volume andthe program’s respective developments. Among the preliminary results, it is worth noting that investments in photovoltaic kits for these representative entities totaled R$8,641,650.00, distributed among 19 associations, serving 432 families, which is associated with a productive arrangement (rearing shrimp in captivity). This initial data shows a development perspective for these rural territories, with the premise of a policy that enables inclusion and productive autonomy rather than programmed dependence.
