Green shares on the upturn: RENIXX World gains 31 percent in 2015
Muenster - Stock exchange year 2015 was also a positive one for investors in green shares. At 492.39 points, the principal international index for renewable energies, RENIXX World (Renewable Energy Industrial Index), closed the year 31.4 percent higher than 12 months earlier (2014: 374.84 points), Muenster-based IWR, a renewable energy institute, reported. This was the third annual increase in succession. Global growth in renewable energies is continuing unabated, according to IWR. \"The UN Climate Change Agreement and persistent cost reductions will lend further tailwind to global investments in renewable energies\", stated IWR Director Dr. Norbert Allnoch in Muenster.
The clear winners in 2015 were shares in the three European manufacturers of wind turbines. The highest price gain in the RENIXX World in percentage terms was achieved by the Nordex share, which climbed by 118 percent in 2015 ahead of the Danish wind turbine manufacturer Vestas (up 115 percent) and Spanish supplier Gamesa (up 111 percent). US-based company First Solar (up 67 percent) ranked fourth - the first provider of solar power - followed by China\'s Jinkosolar (up 60 percent).
Fuel cell suppliers Plug Power (down 21 percent) and Ballard Power (down 12 percent) experienced significant price losses. The Sunedison share (USA) recorded the biggest loss year-on-year, down 72 percent.
New composition of RENIXX as of 01.01.2016
As part of the regular recomposition on the basis of stock market capitalisation on 1 January 2016, Ballard Power and the Chinese wind turbine manufacturer Ming Yang were removed from the index. The German inverter producer SMA and the US-based solar leasing company Sunrun were newly included.
