The concept of clean energy is attributed to the hydroelectric enterprises, but in practice that is not found, since the installation of its lakes and the interaction with the original features of the installation place generate ambient impacts, causing physical, territorial, social and economic problems. This study aims to understand the recent transformations in cities in Brazilian hydrographical regions basins that have great energy value and, therefore are susceptible to hydroelectric plants implantation, focusing on the development of its healthresorts and its tourist potential. In this context the recent transformations in the city of Palmitos and in the Ilha Redonda Health-resort are analyzed, discussing the limits and potentialities of its relation with the local management through mechanisms proposed by the Foz do Chapecó Energy Consortium, responsible for the implantation of the hydroelectric plant Foz do Chapecó in the Uruguay river basin, in the State of Santa Catarina.
