    In your scenario, try to use “Get Data->Web”  option in Power BI Desktop, enter Web URL and check if you can get any data. In addition, if your system has OData feeds available or database behind it, it is possible to connect straight to the OData feeds or the database from Power BI Desktop.

Hi,

I have worked with SCADA system and gateway for some years, and I think your client is exporting to csv or xls, it common to any SCADA. this way power bi could not be the best tool.
But in another hand, your client should comunicate his SCADA Gateway with SQL Data Base, could be a free edtion, therefore you can use power bi to extract relevant informations.
