Danish Wind Power Academy ApS (dwpa, CVR 27700500) is a Middelfart company founded in 2004 that trains wind-turbine technicians, field-support staff and remote-operations teams on Vestas, Siemens Gamesa, GE Vernova, Nordex and other platforms. It has a registered Portuguese permanent representation in Lisbon, Danish Wind Power Academy ApS – Sucursal (NIF 980729351), which has filed annual accounts in Portugal for 2021 to 2024.
Danish Wind Power Academy, which brands itself dwpa, was founded in Denmark in 2004 to help owners, operators and maintainers of wind assets improve turbine performance through training. From its base in Middelfart it runs platform-specific courses for Vestas, Siemens Gamesa, GE Vernova, Nordex Acciona and older Danish turbine types such as NEG Micon and Bonus. Its catalogue covers maintenance, troubleshooting, installation and maintenance quality inspection, end-of-warranty inspection, and gearbox maintenance and inspection. It also offers competency assessments, remote and live-virtual training, and on-site field support for wind farms. The Danish company has eight employees in the CVR register.
In Portugal the company is registered as a permanent representation, Danish Wind Power Academy ApS – Sucursal (NIF 980729351), at Avenida Conselheiro Fernando de Sousa in Lisbon. The branch is registered for education and training, plus recruitment, organisational development and investment. It has filed annual accounts every year from 2021 to 2024, and changes to its officers and representation were registered in January 2025. The filings show a branch that is still active in Portugal.
Portugal has more than 5 GW of onshore wind capacity, much of it built in the 2000s on turbine models now coming out of warranty. That ageing fleet needs skilled technicians and independent inspection. A Danish training specialist with a Lisbon branch brings Denmark’s wind know-how to a market that is moving into repowering and life extension. It also gives dwpa a base in a Portuguese-speaking talent pool for service work elsewhere.
