Abstract

Energy justice is an essential concept for socioeconomic development and involves basic needs (food, health, education, and housing), for human development. It can be articulated with the 7th Sustainable Development Goal (SDG), related to clean and accessible energy, considered the "golden thread" capable of linking economic growth, development, and sustainability. The objectives of this article are, on the one hand, to offer a systematic review of energy justice concept, identifying three fundamental approaches: distributive; procedural and recognition-based; and, on the other hand, to analyze the results of the Light for All Program (PLpT) in accordance with these approaches. Data on the evolution of access to electricity in the country and in terms of the number of connections made in the PLpT for the period 2004-2010 were retrieved, tabulated, spatialized and analyzed. Results analysis is informed by the approaches on energy justice. It is concluded that the PLpT can be understood as an action of extension of distributive justice through access to electricity, which favors, in the period, the expansion of the satisfaction of one of the basic needs and for the achievement of SDG 7.
