Since entering the solar photovoltaic industry in 2013, GILA Electric has invested and expanded significantly. GILA Electric has developed a 25 MWp solar PV utility scale project in the Benban Solar Park in less than 10 years. The project was funded by a consortium of lenders led by the International Finance Corporation (IFC). The company is also a minor shareholder in four other projects with a combined capacity of 170 MWp (three projects in Benban and another in Sharm EL Sheikh). As a result, GILA Electric is a leading Egyptian company with an extensive portfolio of solar PV plants.
