Regulatory News:
The Greater Paris Water Authority (SEDIF) selected Veolia
(Paris:VIE) for the management of its public drinking water service
from 2025 to 2036, considering their offer as the best and most
suitable for the challenges defined in their specifications through
a vote that took place on January 25, at the end of the tender
process. This contract, with a total value of 4 billion euros
over 12 years, covers water distribution for 4 million residents in
132 municipalities in the Paris Region.
Veolia has mobilized the best of its resources to meet SEDIF's
rigorous specifications and strong ambitions covering 4 main
areas:
- health, with optimal water quality;
- the environment, for an exemplary ecological water
service;
- water pricing that preserves users' purchasing power;
- governance, with even more shared management arrangements
between the contracting authority and the delegate.
"In the ambitions defined by SEDIF, we fully find our purpose:
to contribute to human progress, firmly aligning with the
Sustainable Development Goals defined by the United Nations,"
says Estelle Brachlianoff, CEO of Veolia. “We have come up
with an offer of exceptional quality for the people of the Paris
region, featuring numerous innovations and world firsts. It is also
the most competitive offer in terms of quality/price for the
consumer. Alongside SEDIF, with whom we share a vision and values
for the water service of tomorrow, we are going to revolutionize
the world of water. This contract testifies to Veolia's capacity
for innovation and the expertise we are ready to deploy in the
service of all our customers."
This signature shows that SEDIF has fully recognized Veolia's
efforts to meet its requirements in the most efficient way
possible, with nearly 150 major innovations including 10
world-firsts. The Group has relied on its international
expertise to build the best solution adapted to the needs of
SEDIF:
- an unparalleled water quality, protecting the population
and anticipating the quality standards for micropollutants,
endocrine disruptors and drug residues, chlorine and limescale of
the coming decades, thanks to a mix of low-pressure reverse osmosis
and nanofiltration technologies.
- a personalized, thoughtful and solidarity-based water
service of the future, using cutting-edge digital and artificial
intelligence technologies, connected with communities, to offer
a service tailored to different types of customers: condos,
individual houses or businesses.
- an adaptive water service that takes account of climate
change and the need to preserve water resources, with a network
efficiency target of over 93%, i.e. less than 7% network
losses. This is an unprecedented ambition for an underground
network 8,000 km long, the distance between Paris and Beijing;
The "Club des Grands Services d'Eau du monde" will also be
extended to 25 cities, to contribute to SEDIF's innovation
strategy.
To build its offering, Veolia has also relied on excellent
partners who have provided the best of their resources,
particularly in terms of engineering, construction, and
architectural design: OTV for the design of future membrane
processes, engineering firms Merlin and Egis, construction and
civil engineering companies Eiffage and Chantiers Modernes, and
architecture firms MVRDV and Lelli.
