The energy planning is only tool capable of identifying the more adequated alternatives to meet the society's energy demands. However, the influence of reductionist conceptions and the political-economic interests have been putting the energy planning in question. But that doesn't mean that the energy planning should be abandoned, for it still presents a high degree of utility. This article tries to show the importance of the energy planning as a tool for helping in decision-takings on meeting of the rural population's energy demands. For that, the community of the Igarape Combu is used as case study. Through analyses of energy planning it was possible to identify among several electricity supply alternatives - diesel engine sets, wind generator, photovoltaic panels, tidal generator, gasifier of biomass residues, and connection to electric grid through submarine cable - and among some energy supply alternatives for cooking - LPG, firewood, and charcoal - those that present a larger rationality in economic, technological, social and environmental terms, verifying therefore the utility of the energy planning for helping in decision-takings.
