Department of Municipalities and Transport, Abu Dhabi City Municipality awarded a contract for replacement of approximately 43,000 streetlights in the capital with energy-efficient LED lights.
The project has been awarded to Tatweer for Traffic Assets and Systems Operation and Management.
The project is the first street lighting replacement project to be delivered using a Public-Private-Partnership model in the UAE. It is also the first to be assisted by the Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO) using the Partnership Projects model.
