Interestingly energy stocks now comprise more than 65% of the ET50 Index, with wind and solar accounting for more than 25% each. In the broader markets, Energy Equipment & Services and Healthcare were the best performing sectors, with Consumer Discretionary Goods and Materials underperforming. During the month, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released its third report as part of "Climate Change 2007". Following "The Physical Science Basis" and "Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability", "Mitigation of Climate Change" highlights two scenarios saying that the costs of limiting emissions of greenhouse gases could mean a loss of just 0.2 or 0.6 percent of global GDP in 2030. In Germany, environment minister Sigmar Gabriel announced an eight-point plan targeting a 40% cut in GHGs by 2020 compared with 1990 levels. Measures included energy efficiency improvements, and combined heat and power (CHP), in addition to an increase in the use of renewable energy. In the water sector, following the passing of the Water Quality Financing Act of 2007, the US Department of Agriculture announced funding for 61 new rural water and wastewater community systems in 29 states, at a cost of $180 million. Earlier in the month water utility leaders met with more than 300 Congressional representatives to stress the need to repair and replace the country's aging water infrastructure, which the American Water Works Association (AWWA) estimates will exceed $250 billion over the next thirty years. Specifically, they are lobbying to increase the Drinking Water State Revolving Loan Fund (DWSRF) program to a cumulative $14 billion through 2011. In the waste sector, the US Supreme Court ruled that local governments can compel private waste haulers to use municipal owned facilities, rejecting arguments that municipalities' "flow control" laws discriminate against interstate commerce by barring shipments to sites that charge lower fees. The ruling is predicted to push up the price of landfill waste disposal, which is likely to benefit recycling and waste-to-energy projects. Stocks that contributed to the increase in the Company NAV during April included Bioteq (mining effluent treatment, Canada) which climbed 31% on new contracts, Vestas (wind turbines, Denmark) which gained 15% on strong outlook for the wind sector, and Transpacific (waste management, Australia) which rose 15% on continued industry consolidation. On the downside Ormat (geothermal power, Israel/US) retreated 13% on project delays and cost overruns. The sale of Cellex Power (fuel cells, Canada) to Plug Power was completed for US$45m at the beginning of the month, marking a successful exit from the fund's first pre-IPO investment, at between 1.6 and 1.8 times the initial investment.
