Abstract
We adopt a performative perspective and conceptualize entrepreneurship as a in which through material practices and social discourses, entrepreneurial opportunities emerge and mobilize different ecosystems of actors. We focus on the South African energy sector and examine the narratives of different actors including renewable energy entrepreneurs, technology vendors, and municipalities as they discursively and materially constitute new opportunities during the period 2007-2018. Based on our analysis, we discuss the implications for further research and policy.
