“…In 2018, South Africa was generating only 5% of its electricity from natural gas (DoMRE, 2019). The country has introduced a gas independent power producer's procurement programme aiming to acquire an extra 3.7 GW (Ting, 2019) to bring natural gas contribution to about 10%, to reduce carbon emissions. Also, as South Africa's solar resources are the third largest internationally (Semelane et al, 2021), municipalities are embracing solar photovoltaic (PV) systems to provide access to “affordable clean energy” (SDG 7) and adding to “climate action” (SDG13), in relation to providing solar energy off‐grid solutions (Kabir et al, 2018) with minimal Green House Gas emissions, aiming to provide affordable and universal electricity access by 2030, for peace, prosperity, people, and planet (UN, 2019), and reduced gender inequality (Dinkelman, 2011).…”

This study seeks to examine the prosocial motives of solar energy entrepreneurs as they generate energy to combat energy poverty in South Africa. Using a qualitative research method, data, in words of survey participants, were collected from social purpose and profitable solar energy businesses using a semi‐structured interviews technique. These represent the reality of the interviewed Social Entrepreneurs because their societal world deals mainly with socially constructed issues. A pre‐developed “codebook” forms the basis to build categories of social issues and to consequently amalgamate codes into umbrella themes that enable researchers carry out structured and systematic contextual analysis. Motivated by innate feelings of compassion, empathy and extrinsic concerns for the environment, solar entrepreneurs embark on social venturing to collaborate with municipalities to deliver public services, to the group of vulnerable energy poor South Africans gain access to public benefits, like access to clean energy, which are frequently out of reach of township as well as slum dwellers operating mainly in the informal sector. This study contributes to our understanding of how solar energy entrepreneurs operate and adapt to the complexity of public energy service delivery venture in South Africa.

The economic viability of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) projects in African nations stands as a pivotal subject in the global energy landscape. This Review encapsulates a comprehensive review, shedding light on the multifaceted aspects that determine the success and sustainability of LNG initiatives across the African continent. The analysis encompasses key elements such as investment frameworks, regulatory environments, and socio-economic considerations, providing a nuanced understanding of the economic dynamics shaping LNG projects. Examining case studies and regional variations, the review delves into the challenges and opportunities that characterize LNG ventures in Africa. The study identifies the critical factors influencing economic viability, including infrastructure development, market dynamics, and governmental policies. It explores the impact of global energy trends on the African LNG market and scrutinizes the role of international collaborations in fostering economic success. Additionally, the review assesses the potential socio-economic benefits, job creation, and local community engagement stemming from LNG projects, adding a socio-economic dimension to the economic evaluation. Furthermore, the Review emphasizes the need for adaptive strategies that acknowledge the unique challenges faced by African nations, from political stability concerns to the varying levels of technological infrastructure. The economic viability of LNG projects is inherently linked to the alignment of national goals, industry interests, and environmental sustainability. In summary, this Review provides a succinct overview of the comprehensive review on the economic viability of LNG projects in African nations. It sets the stage for an in-depth exploration of the economic intricacies, offering valuable insights for policymakers, industry stakeholders, and researchers vested in the sustainable development of LNG projects across the African continent.
