Mozambique President Daniel Chapo has appointed Estevão Pale as the new Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy.
Pale, who was appointed chairman of Mozambique’s national oil company ENH in 2020, previously held the position of national director of mines in the Ministry of Mineral Resources and Energy.
With his proven leadership and expertise, Pale is expected to accelerate the growth of Mozambique’s energy sector.
He is likely to play a key role in engagements with energy majors like TotalEnergies and ExxonMobil, who are poised to restart mega liquefied natural gas projects in the Southern African country.
The Mozambican Energy Chamber has hailed Pale’s appointment as a solid choice for citizens and investors alike.
The Chamber commended the outgoing Minister, Agostinho Zacarias, for his exceptional contributions to the sector, including the realization of transformative projects like Eni’s Coral South FLNG development.
Under Pale’s leadership, the Chamber anticipates a new chapter of growth, focusing on: Local Content, Community Engagement, and Youth and Women Empowerment.
Mozambique’s energy industry has immense potential to drive socioeconomic growth, and the Chamber is committed to supporting Pale in achieving this goal.
Pale’s appointment is seen as a positive step for Mozambique’s energy sector, and the Mozambican Energy Chamber is committed to supporting him in driving transformative growth and development in the country.
