CERGY PONTOISE
CREATING A LIGHTING
IDENTITY FOR THE CITY
In 2011, the urban authority of Cergy
Pontoise near Paris decided to comprehensively
refurbish its lighting system.
Following a competitive bidding
procedure that lasted nearly two years,
it signed an 18-year partnership
agreement in June 2013 with the Cinergy
SAS consortium, made up of 50%
VINCI Energies (operating under the
Citeos brand) and 50% Spie.
The consortium undertook to rebuild
nearly 80% of the public lighting facilities
during the first five years of the
contract. €81 million in capital investments
and over 1,400 renovation projects
have been scheduled during this
first phase. Over the following 13-year
period, a further €39 million will be
invested. New high-efficiency equipment
will be used: LED streetlights
along residential streets and pedestrian
walkways, timed dimming during
the night and presence detectors
along pedestrian paths.
By the end of the contract in 2031, savings of 47% on current
consumption levels are expected from the upgrading and management
of the lighting installations.
€127 M
WILL BE INVESTED OVER 18 YEARS TO REBUILD
THE NETWORK AND UPGRADE EQUIPMENT.
SÉBASTIEN HOPIN,
Vice-president of the
Cergy Pontoise urban authority
“Our lighting network had
aged prematurely and was
constantly breaking down.
The partnership agreement
appeared to us to be the way
to undertake a broad refurbishment
within a short period
of time. The consortium is our
sole interface, in charge of design,
financing and execution
of the works and of managing
the lighting network. We set
precise contractual objectives,
specifically the failure
rate, which must be brought
below 2% within five years and
below 0.5% by the end of the
contract. Our approach is also
qualitative: we want to give
our city a new lighting identity,
by illuminating 34 outstanding
buildings and by providing
differentiated lighting for our
various urban spaces.”
More efficient
equipment
7,000 LED streetlights will
be installed along residential
streets and pedestrian walkways.
500 lighting points along
pedestrian paths will be
connected to a presence
detection system.
35% reduction in
consumption by 2018.
