Mkhulu EDP has its roots in historical Overhead Transmission Lines Construction (OHTL) company, Eagle Power Transmission (EPT) which was founded in 1993.
In 2009, EPT and all its resources were bought over by Mkhulu EDP who as a result of its growth since the year 2000 changed its registration to a (Pty) Ltd at the same time.
It was founded by two main members who saw fit to establish an entity that would include long serving employees as shareholders in the company. This was meant to recognise their commitment and loyalty to the company.
