The objective of this theoretical study is to analyze the connections between solid urban waste and the generation of complementary electric energy for productive transformations. Brazil has great energy potential from solid waste and the alternative could increase the country's current supply by 50 million megawatt-hours per year, which represents more than 15% of the total currently available or about a quarter of what it generates the Itaipu hydroelectric plant. The methodology was based on bibliographic research on the topics of solid waste management, energy generation and connections between the use of solid waste and energy production. The study concludes that there are ample possibilities for using solid waste to generate complementary electricity. However, there is a need to produce indicators that best measure this use strategically and in favor of the sustainable development process.
