What GOPA Infra does

GOPA Infra is a German-headquartered consulting firm offering architecture, urban development, transportation, water, and waste management services, founded in 2016 and based in Bad Homburg. The firm operates as part of the broader GOPA group of companies and, through the integration of former GOPA Intec and GOPA Infra capabilities into the GOPA Tech business unit, delivers multidisciplinary engineering and consulting solutions spanning energy infrastructure, power systems, renewable energy, sustainable infrastructure advisory, civil engineering, and water and sanitation.

Its core service portfolio is organized into five pillars: Power Systems (network planning, transmission and substation engineering, distribution, SCADA, smart grids, and cyber security), Renewable Energy (wind, solar, hydropower, biomass, hydrogen and Power 2X, battery storage, hybrid systems, and mini-grids), Sustainable Infrastructure and Advisory (policy, regulation, climate and decarbonization, energy efficiency, energy planning and modeling, circular economy, transport and mobility, and waste management), Architecture, Urban Development and Civil Engineering (social infrastructure, health infrastructure, energy-efficient construction, and post-conflict reconstruction), and Water and Sanitation (water supply, integrated water resources management, wastewater, and flood management). Services cover the full project lifecycle from feasibility studies through engineering, design, procurement support, and implementation supervision, augmented by advisory in policy, regulation, economics, financial advisory, ESHS, and project and claim management.

The firm operates a professional services revenue model, generating income through project-based consulting engagements typically secured via competitive tendering with government agencies, multilateral development banks, and private sector clients. Its customer base is segmented primarily across Government and Public Sector agencies and Multilateral Development Banks and International Organizations, with a secondary segment in Private Sector Energy Companies. The firm reports 350 full-time staff, a deployable pool of approximately 3,700 experts, operations across 29 countries, and 270 ongoing projects, with distribution via direct enterprise sales and digital channels including a corporate website and LinkedIn presence.
