Abstract

Supporting the energy transition toward sustainability, which is increasingly necessary to accelerate, requires research to improve the engineering atmosphere with a technology-based entrepreneurial orientation. The situation is aimed at the engineers who are playing an important role in the electricity sector due to the potential of stranded assets and paradigms of intermittency and new patterns of energy flow. Using a quantitative method with structural equation modeling analysis and a partial least square approach, this study explains the importance of the co-creation process as a mediator to be able to utilize the technopreneurial orientation among engineers to support sustainability in the electricity sector. By empowering engineers to be technologically-based entrepreneurs, they can form a co-creation by prioritizing dialogue, which allows shared access and transparency in taking risks, a major aspect that boosts the co-creation effect in the energy transition to sustainability.
