Producing electricity from wind, biomass and solar sources (WBSS) is a promising alternative from a sustainability perspective. Considering that the increasing insertion of WBSS into the Brazilian National Grid is an irreversible trend, it is essential to go deeper into the debate on the resulting impacts. Will it be possible to service the growth in load using WBSS and to what extent? Which strategy should be adopted to foster the inclusion of WBSS while retaining security of supply? The main objective of this article is to discuss the problems that surround these questions under the focus of full load servicing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
