Business opportunities tied to the Mozambique LNG Project are being presented to local companies as the development progresses toward a gradual restart, Ecofin Agency reported.
During a meeting in Maputo, project stakeholders detailed available contracts across multiple areas, including construction, logistics, maintenance, and services, according to Club of Mozambique.
Local businesses have been encouraged to position themselves to take advantage of these opportunities.
This initiative aligns with Mozambique’s broader local content policy, which is designed to boost the participation of domestic firms in large-scale extractive projects, particularly within the oil and gas sector.
A 2023 report by the World Bank highlights that such policies aim to maximize economic benefits within the country.

The Mozambique LNG project is led by a consortium headed by TotalEnergies and focuses on developing the Golfinho and Atum gas fields located in the offshore Rovuma Basin.
According to official figures, the project is expected to produce approximately 13.1 million tons of liquefied natural gas annually.
Operations were halted in 2021 due to security challenges in Cabo Delgado Province, but efforts to resume work have since intensified.
As previously reported by Ecofin Agency, expressions of interest have already been launched to identify service providers, particularly in logistics.
In early March 2026, Mozambican authorities strengthened oversight of LNG developments in the Rovuma Basin by establishing an interministerial committee to supervise revisions to development plans for the Golfinho and Atum fields, which are linked to Mozambique LNG (Area 1) and Rovuma LNG (Area 4).
Calls for increased local participation also reflect earlier positions taken by industry leaders. In February 2025, Florival Mucave, president of the Mozambique Energy Chamber, urged the government to create conditions that would enable stronger involvement of local companies in the oil and gas sector, stating it is essential “to develop the industry and the country.”
