Contract awarded for Street lighting PPP project in UAE

The Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO), in collaboration with the Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT), has selected French consortium Eléctricité de France (EDF) and ENGIE to deliver the Phase 2 street lighting public-private partnership (PPP) project in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

This project includes the finance, supply, installation, operation and maintenance of 133,473 LED energy-efficient luminaires and metal halide (MH) streetlights and their wireless connection to the road lighting control center.

The project contributed to electricity savings of almost 2,400 million kWh, equivalent to a reduction in electricity consumption of approximately 74% over the 12-year concession period. The consortium will implement the project in 5 phases covering small geographic areas of Abu Dhabi. EDF and ENGIE signed a contract with DMT after a three-stage evaluation of proposals and created a 50-50 joint venture called Nojoom to deliver the project.
