Abstract: 
The aim of this investigation is to analyze the main green energies for electricity generation in the Brazilian Amazon, especially given the location specificities of the State of Pará, Brazil. Electric energy is an invaluable resource for the development of populations and green energy comprises viable alternatives to sustain this development. The methodology of this study is classified in terms of the approach to the problem as a qualitative research and in terms of its nature, as a theoretical study. The green energies analyzed in the State of Pará, Brazil, were: hydro, biomass, solar and wind. The study concluded that the electricity generation base in the State of Pará should continue to be the hydro base; however, Pará should increase the proportion of use of sources from biomass and the sun.
