I develop a method to value this ecosystem service using an econometric climate model that connects tropical deforestation with rainfall. As an application, I estimate the impact that Amazon deforestation has on the power generation capacity of the Teles Pires hydropower plant in Brazil, one of the ten largest plants in a country where hydropower is the main source of energy. In an ex-post analysis, I map the currently deforested regions in the Amazon with the highest restoration values for the hydroelectric. In an ex-ante analysis, I map the potential cost of deforesting Indigenous Territories. The results provide evidence of the importance of the ecosystem services of tropical forests to the energy sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S014098832300703X\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>READ THE PAPER<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ABSTRACT Tropical forests have a significant impact on rainfall patterns at a continental scale, thereby influencing water supply for energy generation of hydropower plants.
