The hydroelectric frontier in the Amazon is expanding due to the construction of large projects such as Santo Antonio and Jirau in the Madeira River, proposed projects in the Tapajós River, and Belo Monte in the big bend of the Xingu River (licensed in February 2010). Large projects that generate energy in the Amazon region provoke political, social, and environmental conflicts. These conflicts affect the credibility of the Environmental Licensing Evaluation process. Discourse from social groups that oppose development policies for the Belo Monte Hydroelectric Dam project offer insight into the origins and progression of these conflicts. Criticisms of the Experts Panel Network created to analyze the Environmental Impact Assessment in Belo Monte and other sectors of the society are evaluated
