Energy equipment and energy services companies were the strongest performing sector, reflecting the strength of energy stocks in general as oil prices moved towards US$60 per bbl. Despite the US maintaining a stalemate on climate change in the run-in to the G8 summit, the Senate passed a wide-ranging energy bill, some of which is aimed at the renewables sector. The bill requires utilities to generate 10 percent of their electricity from renewable energy sources by 2020, and offers $16 billion in tax breaks to boost domestic energy production, including a 30 percent tax credit for the purchase of solar and fuel cells for use in residential applications. President Bush has urged for the bill to be reconciled with the House of Representatives' version, so that he can receive the final copy before the August recess. In the UK, the opening of the 58.5-megawatt wind farm in Ceredigion in Wales raised the country's total installed wind capacity to over a gigawatt, marking a record year of growth for the U.K. wind industry. A total of 18 new projects totalling some 500 megawatts of capacity are expected to be commissioned by year end. This coincides with record prices of ¤23 for European Union carbon emissions allowances, as power generators continue to buy more allowances to offset an increase in the use of coal. In the water sector, BWT (water treatment, Austria) announced the intention to spin off its industrial and municipal water treatment businesses, to be listed as Christ Water Technology, in order to focus on products for the residential market. The announcement follows last month's acquisition of Cuno (filtration, US), at a time when the European market for industrial water applications alone is expected to grow from ¤500 million in 2004 to ¤700 million in 2007. Elsewhere, the Xinhua news agency announced that Beijing plans to invest 34 billion yuan ($4.1 billion) on improving water and air quality, as part of a 320 billion yuan ($38.7 billion) infrastructure project in the lead-in to the 2008 Olympics. In North America, the strongest performers during the period included Impco (clean engines, US), which recovered from share price weakness earlier in the year to rise by 44%, and Ballard (fuelcells, Canada), which increased by 27% on the sale of its German power plant subsidiary to Ford and DaimlerChrysler. FuelCell Energy (fuelcells, US) gained 25% on the back of strong results, whilst in the UK, Universal Salvage rose by 19% after announcing a contract to provide recycling and disposal services to insurer Admiral Group. On the downside, Westport (clean diesel engines, Canada) fell by 9% on disappointing quarterly results. During the month we have increased our exposure to Xantrex (power electronics, Canada) and Casella, and have taken profits in Stantec (environmental consultancy, US), Global Power Equipment (emissions controls for CCGT, US) and Itron.
