It’s known that resources such as water, sunlight, oil and natural gas are scarce, influencing industrial production and, therefore, determining the desirable economic growth of nations. However, for a sustainable production, it’s needed to reoriented energy matrices that do not align with a scenario of global energy crisis and worsening living conditions in some parts of the planet for the fossil fuel emissions. In this sense, the objective of the present study is to propose a model that represents the status of the Brazilian energy matrix, based on the use of quantitative variables proposed by the World Bank, using the PCA analysis methodology (Principal Component Analysis) and the Clusters analysis in the definition of groupings, based in common characteristic present in 266 countries. The main contribution of study is the (model under development), that it can be used as an element of preliminary guidance for public policies in the Brazilian energy sector.
