According to the Muenster-based IWR, a renewable energy institute, the RENIXX World (Renewable Energy Industrial Index), the leading international stock index for the renewable energy industry, climbed 39.3 per cent to 522.25 points from January to June.

"The global growth of renewable energies is gaining considerable momentum at present", said IWR Director, Norbert Allnoch.
