Oldmill Wind

Oldmill Wind is a Belgian renewable energy company and part of the Storm group, engaged in the development and operation of wind farms and other clean energy assets. Storm traces its history to 2008, when it was founded with the mission of accelerating the sustainable energy transition through investment in renewable energy. Its first wind farm came into operation in 2012 in Wachtebeke, and the group has since operated dozens of wind turbines capable of supplying power to a large number of households. Storm's activities cover onshore wind farms, large battery parks, fast-charging stations and solar plants. The company also pursues a public participation model: residents living near its wind farms can become shareholders through Storm CV, a cooperative, and share in the projects' returns. This community-investment approach is a distinctive feature of the group's identity. Storm's growth has been supported by several investment partners, including TINC, PMV, Clean Energy Invest, PMF, EPICo, EPICo² and Black Swan, as well as the inter-municipal companies IKA and Zefier. The group positions itself around the idea that "renewable energy is energy today"—already produced and consumed at scale—and emphasizes diversification across wind, solar, storage and charging infrastructure to reduce dependence on foreign energy and strengthen security of supply. Oldmill Wind sits within this group structure as a renewable energy company. Public information about it is limited, and the available evidence lacks detailed information on its independent founding, ownership and project portfolio. It is best understood as part of the broader Storm renewable energy platform in Belgium.

The history of Oldmill Wind is tied to the Storm group, a Belgian renewable-energy company. According to Storm's own account, the story begins in 2008, when the company was founded with the ambitious mission of accelerating the transition to sustainable energy by investing in renewable energy sources. Four years later, in 2012, that vision became reality with the opening of the first Storm wind farm in Wachtebeke. Since then the group has expanded its operating base. Storm reports that it currently has 56 operational wind turbines, enough sustainable energy to provide electricity to about 140,000 families for a whole year. The company's growth has been supported by investment partners including TINC, PMV, Clean Energy Invest, PMF, EPICo, EPICo² and Black Swan, while the inter-municipal companies IKA and Zefier also invest in its wind farms. Beyond wind, Storm has diversified into other renewable-energy solutions such as large-scale battery parks and fast-charging stations, and it also develops solar farms. The company frames this diversification as a way to reduce dependency on foreign energy, increase the stability of energy supply and strengthen energy security. It also argues that rapidly increasing electricity demand requires a focus on large-scale projects that keep production and employment as local as possible. A distinctive element of the group's model is public participation. Through Storm CV, residents living near its wind farms can become shareholders, and as members of the co-operative they can share in the benefits of the sustainable energy projects. This community-investment approach is presented as central to the company's identity. Oldmill Wind itself appears in public data as a company associated with this renewable-energy activity. Detailed standalone records of its founding date, corporate history and project list are not available in the supplied evidence, so its history is best understood as part of the wider Storm platform.
