African Energy Chamber forges strategic alliance with Mozambique's ENH to unlock energy growth
The African Energy Chamber (AEC) has strengthened its collaboration with Mozambique's national oil company Empresa Nacional de Hidrocarbonetos (ENH), aiming to unlock the country's next energy growth phase. The strategic alliance comes at a pivotal moment for Mozambique, as it enters one of the world's largest energy construction cycles following the lifting of force majeure on its flagship LNG developments in late 2025.
More than $50 billion has been mobilized across the Rovuma Basin, positioning Mozambique to become one of the world's premier LNG exporters over the coming decade. The AEC will work closely with ENH to strengthen international investment outreach, support policy dialogue, and help address regulatory and operational challenges that influence project execution.
The alliance also prioritizes local content development by helping expand technical skills, strengthening domestic supply chains, and increasing Mozambican participation throughout the oil and gas industry. ENH has identified onshore exploration and production as a strategic priority, seeking to attract new international upstream investors into Mozambique's onshore basins.
Domestic gas monetization also represents a central pillar of ENH's growth strategy, with the company pursuing projects that will convert Mozambique's abundant gas resources into higher-value industrial products through the development of a domestic petrochemical industry. The company is investing heavily in local capability, including a strategic agreement with Baker Hughes to provide advanced technical training for Mozambican professionals.
