Wirtek Secures Contract with Port of Aalborg to Empower Clean Energy Vision

Written by Reka Borbely-Bandy | 26 Sep 2024

Wirtek has secured a major contract with Danish real estate giant, Port of Aalborg Real Estate, driving its Clean Energy strategy forward. This deal, following Wirtek’s acquisition of Seluxit assets, accelerates its strategic expansion into the sector, delivering full-service solutions that include both hardware and subscription-based software services.

Advancing Sustainability

As Denmark’s first CO2-neutral port, the Port of Aalborg has been a pioneer in green energy initiatives, focusing on reduced carbon emissions and optimized energy consumption.

This collaboration aligns with their larger strategy to increase energy efficiency and comply with EU regulations on energy monitoring and reporting.

The project entails the remote monitoring of Port of Aalborg's electricity, water and heat meters along with invoicing and energy management adapted to the individual leases. Additionally, it will enhance the buildings' energy efficiency moving forward.

Transforming Energy Management

Through Wirtek’s innovative Wappsto platform, the port will streamline operations and provide its tenants with precise, usage-based billing.

Wirtek’s Wappsto platform transforms outdated manual processes into a fully automated real-time cloud-based system, significantly boosting efficiency and sustainability outcomes.

A Strategic Win for Clean Energy Expansion

The contract, estimated at an initial value of up to DKK 2 million, includes ongoing subscription-based revenue from Wappsto.

According to CEO Michael Aaen, the contract has been won as a direct result of Wirtek's takeover of both assets and employees from Seluxit A/S in July 2024.

“This contract marks a pivotal step as we deliver an integrated hardware, software and cloud solution that provides us with recurring, subscription-based revenue. We also present a concrete result of our takeover of the Seluxit assets to our stakeholders and investors. Credit goes to the outstanding former Seluxit team who laid the groundwork for this project. With this contract in place, Wirtek ensures the project's full realization, along with its ongoing operation and future development. We have created a seamless, one-stop solution for our clients, and Port of Aalborg Real Estate selected it due to the Wappsto platform’s advanced features, and superior performance compared to competitors.”

Beyond this immediate success, the partnership opens doors for future expansions of Wirtek’s services in areas like energy performance optimization and highlights Wirtek’s strengthened position in Clean Energy.

Implementation begins immediately and is set to continue through 2025, with expectations of additional orders as the solution is successfully rolled out and additional opportunities with Wirtek are explored.
