Community engagement in action
Supporting local LPG entrepreneurs and growing the South African LPG market South Africa
In 2024, Petregaz South Africa, supported female-led entrepreneur, Hakem Energies, in expanding clean cooking access in underserved communities. According to the WLGA’s 2024 LPG Roadmap for Africa report, one of the biggest challenges in replacing polluting fuels with LPG in the residential sector is the upfront cost to consumers for the stove and canister of fuel.
Through two key initiatives, including Hakem Energies’ Mandela Month Clean Cooking Roadshow, Petregaz contributed towards the distribution of 600 LPG starter packs to ten underserved communities in South Africa, easing the initial barrier to LPG adoption. Each pack included a cylinder, cooker or stove top and LPG refill vouchers, with recipients receiving training on the safe use of LPG. Beneficiaries included child-headed households and vulnerable families in townships and rural areas.
Through such initiatives, Petredec continues to support energy entrepreneurs in the LPG sector and expand access to LPG, particularly in remote communities.
