Renewable energy shares: RENIXX World loses almost 30 percent in 2010

Muenster - The international stock index for the renewable energy industry RENIXX World (Renewable Energy Industrial Index) has ended the year 2010 with a drastic fall in value. The market barometer quote was 29.3 percent (at closing: 529.63 points) lower than a year ago (2009: 749.25 points), announced the IWR, a renewable energy institute, in Münster.

Within the framework of the periodic recomposition on January 1, 2011, the market weight of the companies in China listed in the RENIXX continues to climb. With the wafer manufacturers LDK Solar and Renesola and the wind turbine producer Goldwind, 10 Chinese companies have already been listed in the stock index from 2011 on. \"The Chinese government pursues a very successful green industrial policy,\" said IWR-director Dr. Norbert Allnoch. Other climbers are the renewable energy producer Enel Green Power (Italy) and the US specialist for the encapsulation of PV modules STR Holdings.

Three German producers of solar energy will be removed from the RENIXX World: Centrotherm, Roth & Rau and Q-Cells. In addition, as of 2011 the US wind energy supplier Zoltek and the Australian wind park operator Infigen Energy will no longer be represented in the RENIXX World.
