Citelum and Eiffage consortium wins City of Paris contract for public lighting
and traffic light systems as well as festive and architectural lighting for a
total value of more than EUR704 million

Citelum, an EDF Group subsidiary, and Eiffage, through its subsidiary Eiffage
Énergie Systèmes, were recently awarded in consortium a 10-year contract from
the City of Paris for public lighting and traffic light systems as well as
festive and architectural lighting. The total contract amount is EUR704
million, divided equally between the consortium partners which will operate
together through the common dedicated company Cielis. This is the largest
contract to date awarded in France in the area of public lighting and traffic
light systems.

The contract covers the upgrading of mounting equipment for 12,000 public
lighting and 21,000 traffic light fixtures, the replacement of 70,000 street
lamps with LED technology and the renovation of 870 kilometres of power lines.
It thus aims to improve the structural quality, performance and resilience of
lighting in Paris. In addition, the installation of a digital platform for the
management of street lighting and traffic light systems, together with the
roll-out of new and innovative services, will enable municipal authorities to
optimise the operation of municipal infrastructure and facilitate the
management and coexistence of all mobility options.

Cielis will bring its expertise and know-how to support the City of Paris in
meeting the energy efficiency targets set out in its regional climate, air and
energy plan (PCAET). To this end, 240 GWh of cumulative energy savings will be
achieved over the 10-year period, corresponding to a 30% decrease in public
lighting energy consumption relative to current levels beginning with the fifth
year of the contract term.

At the same time, the project will aim to protect biodiversity, with the
creation of areas intentionally lit more dimly to promote the growth of animals
and plants along certain thoroughfares. A lighting plan designed in
consultation with city residents will help meet the needs and expectations of
Parisians in different districts and depending on the volume of pedestrian and
vehicular traffic.

Special attention will be paid to the enhancement of urban spaces and cultural
heritage structures by way of lighting, thus contributing to the beautification
of environments throughout the city, the well-being of inhabitants,
international recognition and economic development, all while limiting the
environmental impact of lighting systems.

Corporate social responsibility will be a key aspect of the project's
implementation, reflected in the consortium's commitments to limit its own
CO? emissions and promote employment by offering a total of 600,000 hours of
professional integration targeting the long-term unemployed.

By working with an ecosystem of academic and private sector partners, the
consortium will serve as a genuine innovation incubator to trial a number of
groundbreaking solutions to optimise lighting, generate energy savings and
offer new services to users.
