Abu Dhabi Municipality's LED street lighting project on Sheikh Zayed Road will reduce electricity consumption by 77 percent.
Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO) and the Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT) have selected French consortium EDF (Eléctricité de France) and ENGIE to deliver Phase 2 of its road lighting LED public-private partnership (PPP) project after a three-stage evaluation of the proposals submitted by pre-qualified bidders.
The project, which forms part of the wider Abu Dhabi Road Lighting Programme, includes the finance, supply, installation, operation and maintenance of 133,473 LED energy-efficient luminaires in Abu Dhabi, ENGIE said in a statement.
In August 2021, Zawya Projects had reported that ADIO had pre-qualified 9 companies for Phase 2.
The programme will result in electricity savings of almost 2,400 million kWh, equivalent to a reduction of approximately 74 percent in power consumption over the 12-year concession period.
EDF and ENGIE have formed a 50-50 joint venture to deliver the project, which has been split into five phases covering smaller geographical zones.
