What They Do

Opoura focuses on connecting, controlling, and commercializing energy assets across the value chain and now includes several digital and software companies under the same brand (source: windtech-international.com).
Projects & Track Record
A notable project is the implementation of the ETRM system for Energi Danmark, announced in April 2022, which simplifies and optimizes electricity trading through automated processes and direct integration with power exchanges and transmission system operators (source: opoura.com, ritzau.dk). Another important milestone is Deutsche Windtechnik, which has added more than 6,000 wind turbines to the Opoura platform, illustrating the large scale of asset management the group handles after the rebranding (source: opoura.com). SCADA International supports operational reliability for thousands of wind and solar farms as well as water supply companies globally (source: ritzau.dk).

That same month, SCADA International became a member of the industry association Intelligent Energi, highlighting the company’s position within energy software and services in Denmark (source: ritzau.dk). In December 2024, the company announced its rebranding to Opoura, consolidating several acquired companies under one name and signaling a focus on optimizing asset performance (source: ritzau.dk, windtech-international.com). In 2022, the company won Energi Danmark’s ETRM contract, marking an expansion from traditional SCADA monitoring to advanced trading and risk management software (source: ritzau.dk).
