The Nedbank Indalo Energy Resilience Fund aims to deliver comprehensive energy solutions for both ecosystem players and enterprises, thereby contributing to an increased green and clean energy production network of South Africa.

The Fund aims to assist South African Enterprise Support Organisations (ESO) as well as Green Enterprises within and outside the network of the Nedbank Green Economy portfolio to improve their internal resilience and therefore their ability to deliver social and environmental impact.

The objectives of the energy fund are to:

• Create a network of enterprise support organisations that are attuned to green technological innovations and solutions
• Strengthen the ability of these ESOs to build the social fabric of our country
• Build a cohort of NGOs, ESOs, and enterprises that are compliant with both Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Principles and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Applications open on the 7^th of August 2025

The fund is open to Enterprises & Enterprise Support organisations(ESOs)
