Abstract—This paper discuss the energy sources for hydroelectric complementation considering diversification in the long-term energy planning. Among these sources, natural gas thermoelectricity appears as adequate for use on the scale required by the Brazilian electric system. This result justifies the necessary changes for both electricity and natural gas sectors to ensure energy supply in long-term horizon. Thus, we discuss some of required measures and propose a conceptual model for integrated gas-electricity planning.
