The article evaluates the intersectorial relations of the Energy Production industry in the economy of the state of Rio Grande do Sul. For this, the Power Generation sector was built in the state’s input-output model for the years 1998 and 2003. It was found that the industry uses imported inputs mostly, shows a high level of self-supply and provides a little less than eighty percent of its production for the industries of the state. The sectorial linkages and the production and final demand relations indicate the Energy Production industry as a key sector with strong links to the front, and show that the Household consumption and Interstate exports have a high dependence of its production. Accordingly, we conclude that this sector is an important supplier of basic inputs which productive activity encourages, in an embracing and uniform way, the growth of several production and consumption sectors of the economy in the State of Rio Grande do Sul.
