Sumario: This article presents an evaluation of the use of the energy resource bagasse from sugar cane and petroleum products in electricity generation in Nicaragua using an evaluation model that easily integrates, using fuzzy logic, elements of financial, social, economic, environmental and productivity assessment. It was determined that the use of bagasse to generate electricity is fully profitable, but, the use of petroleum is not fully profitable to generate electricity in Nicaragua.
