Tranquillity in Cabo Delgado will dictate resumption of gas investments

CABO DELGADO, Mozambique 

The Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy, Max Tonela, says that the restoration of order in Cabo Delgado is crucial for the resumption of activity in the natural gas investments in Palma, and that developments there will determine how and when work will resume.


“We are hopeful that the performance of the Defence and Security Forces continues, so that the resumption [of activity] takes place beyond Mocimboa da Praia and all the affected districts, also ensuring that the population returns to its normal activity. Under these conditions, the promoters [of the natural gas projects] will be in a position to resume,” the minister summarised.

Speaking about TotalEnergies, the holder of Mozambique’s mining, resources and energy portfolio said that he had been in constant contact with the company, and that, like all the other partners in this project, it remained committed to investing in Mozambique.

“We will follow how the situation develops, and then we will be able to discuss how and when work will resume,” Minister Tonela added.
