Just checked and 'groupe électrogène de secours' is already in the glossary. I'm presuming this abbreviation was the client's own, as it doesn't appear to be common. Many thanks again fo all your help on this.

The very fact that MV is involved pretty much rules out a domestic situation, certainly.

G. secours is likely to be 'groupe (électrogène) de secours' > emergency generator / genset — but you really should ask that as a separate question, please, for the sake of the glossary.

Unfortunately the rest of document simply outlines the project procedure, i.e. arrangements for the call for tender, commissioning deadlines, etc. At no point does it say what exactly what project involves, although it does make reference to a CSVE installation and my impression is that it is for a more industrial context than a private home. Does that help? The only other item in the list is 'G.secours' which I am also struggling with. Some kind of 'back-up' perhaps?

What is important here is the overall context — what is your document about? The use of 'cabine' is relatively uncommon, and as MV can still be quite high, this is probably a bit more than a mere 'armoire', for example. Hence I believe the translation of 'cabine' is going to depend on the wider context, and it would help to know the other items on the list.
