Activities

Since 2021, YARD ENERGY moved away from investing in wind and built up its portfolio by investing in companies active in the renewable industry, varying from a company that builds and operates charging locations for cars to a company manufacturing scrubbers with carbon capture for marine applications.

Since 2024 portfolio management is performed by Move Energy.

Today, YARD is keen on doing transactions in the renewables industry and focused on optimizing subsidies and tax incentives that typically come along with these particular investments.
