I think "mill" is an accepted term for a generic powered machine installation. Examples include sawmill, fulling mill, textile mill, steel mill, paper mill, etc... The first two at least date back to the medieval period.

In this particular case "windmill" also implies a certain aesthetic that fits the project quite well.
