Yard Energy Investments

Yard Energy Investments operates as a specialist in the renewable energy sector, concentrating its efforts on the broader energy transition. Historically a prominent investor and developer in wind energy projects, the firm has since broadened its investment scope to encompass a wider array of renewable technology companies. Its operational strategy emphasizes optimizing financial returns from these investments, particularly by capitalizing on available subsidies and tax incentives specific to the green energy domain.

Founded in 2004 as Yard Capital, the company was established with an initial focus on capitalizing on emerging opportunities within the wind energy landscape. Martin Oldenbeuving currently serves as CEO, having guided the firm through its evolution. The foundational insight stemmed from the growing potential and critical need for strategic investment in renewable energy infrastructure and development, leading to a strong track record in European wind project acquisition and development.

While Yard Energy continues to pursue transactions within the renewable energy industry, its active investment mandate has largely transitioned into Move Energy, a new venture capital fund. This new entity leverages Yard Energy's extensive experience and network to invest in early-stage scale-ups focused on innovations in hardware and software across transport, buildings, and power sectors. The overarching vision is to accelerate the energy transition towards achieving net-zero targets.
