ADIO selects French consortium for Road Lighting LED Phase 2 PPP project

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 Phase 2 of its Road Lighting LED public-private partnership (PPP) project.

DMT has signed a partnership agreement with Nojoom, a joint venture between EDF and ENGIE, to deliver the project in the UAE capital.

The project, which forms part of the wider Abu Dhabi Road Lighting Program, includes the finance, supply, installation, operation and maintenance of 133,473 LED energy-efficient luminaires in the emirate of Abu Dhabi. It will result in significant 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.

ADIO “The completion of the second phase of the LED road lighting tender demonstrates the strength of Abu Dhabi’s PPP framework and our commitment to support partnerships between the public and private sectors to deliver strategic infrastructure projects. Building on the success of the first phase, the partnership agreement with DMT will deliver significant energy reductions across the emirate’s road lighting infrastructure, making an important contribution to the UAE’s ambitious sustainability goals.”
