The electric energy is an important tool to rural communities, promoting quality of life through its use at home or as part of the productive process. The Rural Electrical Project of the State of Goiás began with the collaboration between The Overseas Economic Cooperation Fund (OECF) and the Electric Company of the State of Goiás. The subject of this paper is to characterize the electric energy use in three farms attended by OECF project, in Rio Verde, Jataí and Mineiro. It was done the checking, analysis and description of situations related to the electric installation, motors starting, conservation and use of alternative energy source. It was evident that all farms use electric motors to several purposes (irrigation, manufacture of ration, trituraters, mechanic milking, etc). Two farms used electric fences, while only one used hybrid system. It was verified at the visited farms presented an expressive use of the electric energy in its domestic usage as much as an input to the productive process.
