Paris runs its roughly 200,000 street-light points under an energy-performance contract with centralised remote management (télégestion) for dimming, scheduling and fault detection, plus a rolling LED conversion. The concession passed from EVESA (Bouygues) to Cielis (Dalkia Electrotechnics + Eiffage) after the 2021 tender; its Itron CityEdge platform adds mesh-connected controllers and about 70,000 new LED sources, targeting a 30% cut in energy use. Energy figures are operator- and city-reported.
