Frequently asked questions

What does Nesa Capital invest in?

Nesa Capital focuses on two asset classes: renewable energy infrastructure and enterprise development credit. Its energy funds own and operate operational solar PV, distributed energy, and battery storage assets in South Africa, and it launched the Nesa Green Impact Fund in 2024 to invest across the Southern African renewable energy value chain (per the firm, 2024). Its enterprise development funds provide credit and compliance solutions to South African corporates.

Is Nesa Capital regulated?

Yes. Nesa Capital is a registered financial services provider with the South African Financial Services Conduct Authority under FSP No. 45930. The Nesa Enterprise Development Fund is a registered credit provider (NCRCP7031), and Nesa Investment Holdings is licensed under the Financial Advisory and Intermediaries Act (FSP 46210) and registered as a Section 12J company with the South African Revenue Service.

Who chooses the investments at Nesa Capital?

Nesa Capital states that every transaction is executed by its senior team, ensuring a hands-on approach and active management. The team is supported by a non-executive advisory board with experience in private equity, corporate finance, capital raising, and impact investing. No named investment committee or delegation of authority is publicly disclosed.

How does Nesa Capital source its renewable energy deals?

Nesa Capital works alongside its affiliated company, Nesa Power (Pty) Ltd, to provide commercial clients with turnkey energy solutions. This relationship gives the firm an origination channel into commercial and industrial energy projects that can be structured into investable portfolios. Deal flow therefore comes from both corporate energy procurement and direct infrastructure development.
