Green stocks: Global stock index RENIXX rises against the market trend to a yearly high – up 17 percent year-to-date

Münster – The global renewable energy stock index RENIXX (Renewable Energy Industrial Index) reached a new yearly high yesterday at 1,324 points (closing price: 14 April 2026). This places the renewable energy benchmark at its highest level since August 2023. Since the beginning of 2026, RENIXX has gained around 17 percent, moving against the general market trend.

For an extended period, RENIXX traded in a sideways range between a support zone of 1,000 to 1,100 points and a resistance level around 1,300 points. With the recent significant breakout above the 1,300-point mark, further upside potential has opened up.

Despite fundamentally attractive conditions driven by rising energy prices and growing global demand, many renewable energy stocks remain moderately valued. Investors continue to factor in risks such as inflation and higher financing costs.

The trigger for yesterday’s surge in RENIXX was a corporate announcement from Bloom Energy. The fuel cell provider and Oracle are significantly expanding their existing collaboration. Under a master agreement, Oracle plans to deploy fuel cells with a capacity of up to 2.8 gigawatts (GW) for AI data centers. Concrete projects with a capacity of 1.2 GW are already underway.

As a result, Bloom Energy shares jumped 23 percent to €184.80, leading the RENIXX gainers list. Following the news, other fuel cell stocks also rose significantly: Plug Power gained 6.4 percent, while Ballard Power increased by 8.3 percent.
