The energy generated by Pulida will be sold to South African utility Eskom through the 20-year power supply agreement that EGP was awarded in October 2013 under the third round of South Africa's Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPPP).

EGP has also been awarded the right to build the Aurora (82.5 MW), Paleisheweul (82.5 MW) and Tom Burke (66 MW) solar power projects, in the same tender.
