Eni Rovuma Basin has issued an expression of interest inviting contractors to bid for the engineering, procurement and construction of a gas-fired power plant in Mozambique. The EOI marks an active procurement step, placing the project at a stage where qualified contractors and suppliers can formally signal their interest and capability to Eni's procurement organisation.
The Rovuma Basin is the centerpiece of Mozambique's upstream gas ambitions, and Eni has been among the most operationally active players in the country. A gas-fired power plant tied to Rovuma operations would serve a dual purpose: monetising gas that might otherwise be flared or curtailed, and addressing Mozambique's chronic power deficit, which remains a constraint on broader economic development and industrial activity. While the article does not specify the plant's capacity, location, or contract value, the issuance of an EOI signals that the project has advanced beyond planning into structured vendor engagement.
For the EPC contractor ultimately selected, the scope will likely encompass civil and mechanical engineering design, procurement of generation equipment and ancillary systems, and full construction and commissioning. Gas-fired power projects in sub-Saharan Africa increasingly attract international contractors with regional execution experience, given logistical complexity and local-content requirements. Mozambique's regulatory environment for power infrastructure, governed through EdM and sector-level frameworks, adds a layer of compliance that experienced in-country partners can help navigate.
The EOI is the entry point: companies that submit credible expressions of interest position themselves for subsequent RFQ or RFP rounds, where technical and commercial evaluation will determine shortlisting. Norwegian and Nordic service and engineering firms with EPC track records in gas processing, power generation infrastructure, or African project execution should treat this as an immediate outreach opportunity to Eni Rovuma Basin's procurement team.
