TotalEnergies has restarted activities onshore and offshore for the Mozambique LNG project. The restart follows the decision made on Nov. 7, 2025, by the Mozambique LNG consortium to lift the force majeure that was declared in 2021 and resume project activities.
During a meeting between Patrick Pouyanné, chairman and chief executive officer of TotalEnergies and Daniel Chapo, President of the Republic of Mozambique, the government of Mozambique confirmed its commitment to work together with Mozambique LNG to support the restart of project activities and address the consequences of the Force Majeure period. In particular, the government confirmed all measures taken to address the security and the continued cooperation with Rwanda.
Construction activities have now restarted both offshore and onshore at Afungi site. First LNG is expected in 2029 as the project progress is currently at 40% as almost all engineering and procurement of main equipment have been executed during the force majeure period.
TotalEnergies EP Mozambique Area 1 is operator of the Mozambique LNG (26.5%) with partners Mitsui E&P Mozambique Area 1 (20%), ENH Rovuma Área Um (15%), ONGC Videsh Rovuma (10%), Beas Rovuma Energy Mozambique (10%), BPRL Ventures Mozambique (10%) and PTTEP Mozambique Area 1 (8.5%).
