Both the Bloomberg Europe Middle East & Africa Clean Energy Index and the Americas Clean Energy Index, which track companies across the Clean Energy value chain in their respective regions, both grew nearly 2.5% this week with growth in the Asia and Oceana region reaching about .8% growth. This growth across the board still outperformed the overall market growth this week, with the exception of the EMEA Index, which underperformed the EURO STOXX 50 Index by .41%.
