As a pilot methodology exercise, the company CEEE has been selected. CEEE deals with the generation, distribution and transmission of electrical energy and is inserted in a sector facing a changing environment scenario. The study area that was chosen for the scenarios was Distributed Generation (DG). The application has completed with the visualization of two scenarios of Distributed Generation in Brazil at the 2035, Personalidade and Alienação scenarios.

The stories of the scenarios constructed in this study had as main driving forces, institutional, environmental and political issues, which resulted in an optimistic scenario and a pessimist. One of the critical factors for the success of DG in Brazil, as present at the scenarios, was the intellectual evolution of the Brazilian population, a force able to claim their rights, best practices and oppose the dominant and hegemonic forces of power.
