AWEaP originally conceptualized the Entrepreneur Accelerator with the mission to empower entrepreneurs eager to enter the energy market and those seeking to expand their businesses within the ecosystem. However, securing funding for the accelerator proved challenging.
To ensure greater impact and accessibility, AWEaP has launched the Just Energy Transition (JET) Skills Development Programme, designed to equip:
Entrepreneurs
Unlock business opportunities across energy value chains
Utility Professionals
Build capacity to drive the Just Energy Transition in municipal and national utilities.
Community Leaders
Strengthen leadership and advocacy for inclusive energy solutions
This programme replaces the Accelerator, offering a structured, high-impact skills development pathway for individuals and businesses looking to thrive in South Africa’s evolving energy landscape.
