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.
