ABB has been selected by the CCS JV, comprising Saipem, McDermott and Chiyoda, to provide an end-to-end electrification package for the $20bn Mozambique LNG Project.
Planned to commence production in 2024, the French oil and gas company Total-led Mozambique LNG project comprises the Golfinho-Atum gas field development in the offshore Area 1 Block of the deep-water Rovuma Basin.
It also involves the construction of a 12.88 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) onshore LNG facility on the Cabo Delgado coast of Mozambique.
Under the contract, ABB team in Singapore will build 14 large onshore electrical houses or prefabricated electrical substation buildings (PESB).
Specifically designed for oil and gas applications, the PESB will be later transported to the Mozambique LNG Project site.
Additionally, ABB will integrate its electrical control and power management system alongside 110kV gas-insulated switchgears (GIS), medium voltage switchgears and low voltage switchgears.

The company will deliver an end-to-end electrification package for landmark natural gas project off the coast of Africa
CCS JV, comprising Saipem, McDermott and Chiyoda, has signed a deal with ABB to provide comprehensive integrated and intelligent electrical systems for the east-African Mozambique LNG field which is expected to start production by 2024.
With LNG capacity of approximately 13 million tonnes per annum, the current development will spearhead crucial economic and social investment for Mozambique.
Brandon Spencer, President of ABB Energy Industries said, “Winning this project is a testament to ABB’s technical superiority in electrification technologies, as well as our highly skilled management and engineering capabilities. We are proud to be part of Africa’s economic growth story, especially Mozambique.”
ABB’s 26-month project will culminate in a significant installed base in Mozambique for ABB and will involve collaboration across multiple ABB divisions and regions, led by ABB in Singapore. Fourteen large onshore electrical houses (e-houses) or prefabricated electrical substation buildings (PESB) – specifically designed for oil and gas applications, will be built by ABB team in Singapore and transported to the Mozambique LNG Project site.
The company will also integrate its electrical control and power management system alongside 110kV gas-insulated switchgears (GIS), medium voltage switchgears (33kV, 11kV) and low voltage switchgears.
