ABB to power Mozambique LNG project

CCS JV, comprising Saipem, McDermott and Chiyoda, has contracted ABB to deliver an end-to-end electrification package for Total’s Mozambique LNG project.

The company’s team in Singapore will build 14 large onshore electrical houses (e-houses) or prefabricated electrical substation buildings.

The company will also integrate its electrical control and power management system alongside 110kV gas-insulated switchgears, medium voltage switchgears (33kV, 11kV) and low voltage switchgears.

ABB said the project is expected to take 26 months to complete.

This is the country’s first onshore LNG development, comprising a two-train liquefaction plant with a capacity of 13.1 MM tons/yr supplied by the deepwater Golfinho and Atum fields in Area 1 in the offshore Rovuma basin. Production is expected to start by 2024.
