    Through electrical energy, it is possible to operate machinery, generate heat, and transmit information. This energy is generated, transmitted, and distributed until final consumption. However, interruptions in the power supply pose obstacles, especially for producers located in the rural areas of the state of Goiás, within the concession area of the distributor EQUATORIAL-GO. These producers face losses due to spoiled stored food and the death of animals in breeding facilities. With the rise of distributed generation, consumers have been enabled to produce their own energy, thus becoming prosumer. This study conducts a case analysis on a rural property located in the municipality of Cezarina-GO, aiming to investigate the optimal solution for maintaining a consistent energy supply through alternative generation sources. Different scenarios are explored: 1) Grid Electricity + Backup Generator; 2) Grid Electricity + Off-Grid Photovoltaic System; and 3) Grid Electricity + Off-Grid Photovoltaic System + Batteries. Based on the energy demand of the location, equipment is sized for each scenario, and a financial analysis is performed using indicators such as Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Discounted Payback Period, and Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE). The analysis considers the main implementation and operational costs for each configuration under study. The results show that the scenario "Grid Electricity + Off-Grid Photovoltaic System + Batteries" exhibits the best feasibility among the analyzed solutions. Despite having an initial investment nine times higher than the more traditional "Grid Electricity + Backup Generator" scenario, it presents a higher negative NPV and a lower LCOE over a 30-year period. Lastly, through a sensitivity analysis, parameters related to the cost of diesel fuel (R$), electricity tariff (R$/kWh), battery bank cost (R$), and the number of power interruptions were modified. Similarly, the "Grid Electricity + Off-Grid Photovoltaic System + Batteries" scenario remained the most viable for the first three analyzed parameters, while the "Grid Electricity + Backup Generator" scenario became more viable only when the number of power interruptions was reduced.
