Halifax sharedealing will no longer allow me to deal in Impax Enviro shares....says they are advised to no longer let private investors do so! Anyone else come across this? Came up when they didn't reinvest recent dividends.

My top tips for 2007 are renewable energy companies. for a fairly comprehensive list see


Financial Times article
> Renewable energy begins to pick up speed as an investment
> By Fiona Harvey and Kate Burgess
>
> Worrying about the environment is not the prerogative of a fringe of
> ageing hippies it once was. It has become one of the hot topics of the
> capital markets.
> More than $70bn (£36bn) of new money was invested globally in clean or
> renewable energy or clean technology last year, says Michael Liebreich
> at New Energy Finance, a specialist research firm. That was a 43 per
> cent increase on the year before, he says.
> He reckons there are more than 1,246 private equity funds targeting
> environmental projects: "All the biggest private equity houses are
> looking at this space."
> The latest to launch a fund was Hg Capital, which reported last week
> it had raised EUR330m (£222m) for a fund investing in renewable power
> in Europe.
> Conventional asset managers and hedge fund managers are joining the
> fray. According to the UK Social Investment Forum more than EUR780bn
> had been invested in socially responsible investments and funds and
> the bulk of SRI funds use environmental criteria to pick stocks.
> Standard Life Investments and Merrill Lynch Investment Managers have
> both highlighted the environment as an important investment theme for
> 2007 as environmental issues become more integrated into mainstream
> asset management and corporate behaviour.
> "Investors are seeing potential for profits, from the trading of
> pollution permits to investing in new technologies and approaches
> designed to cope with increasing scarcity of resources such as oil and
> water," says Standard Life.
> As the investment case for renewable energy strengthens, more
> companies are being drawn to list on the public markets.
> So far 50 companies focused on renewable energy have floated on Aim
> and more are expected in the next year or so.
> Wind power and ethanol turned out to be the best bets for investors
> last year in the burgeoning market for renewable energy.
> The highest performing renewable energy stock on Aim, by a large
> margin, was Clipper Windpower, the developer of wind farms in the US.
> Clipper, whose chairman is the former Conservative minister Lord
> Moynihan, more than doubled in value during the year, continuing the
> strong performance since the company listed in September 2005.
> Shares in Clipper jumped more than 75 per cent in July when the
> company announced a deal with BP to develop jointly five wind farms in
> the US.
> Wind is the most mature of all renewable energy technologies and
> companies with good wind sites can make substantial profits as
> electricity prices have remained high.
> Turbine design has advanced to allow much more power to be generated
> than was possible in the past, up to 3MW or even 5MW in the case of
> the biggest models. In addition, most developed country governments,
> including the UK and the US, offer a subsidy for wind power
> generation.
> The mixture of government support, high energy prices, carbon trading
> and concerns about the security of energy supplies have all combined
> in the past two years to make renewable energy an attractive sector.
> High energy prices have changed the economics of renewable energy, as
> has carbon trading, initiated by the European Union in January 2005,
> which puts an extra cost on fossil-fuel power generation, making
> renewable energy more economical.
> More than £500m of wind turbines were commissioned in the UK in 2006,
> according to the British Wind Energy Association.
> But investors ought to be wary of the potential problems associated
> with wind power.
> Shane Woodroffe, director of renewable energy at Fortis Bank, notes
> there are estimated to be more wind farms in planning in the UK, or
> about 2GW to 4GW of generating capacity, than there are wind farms
> already operating.
> That reflects the difficulty of gaining planning permission from local
> authorities. Companies must also get permission for any additional
> networks of large pylons that must be set up to connect remote wind
> farms to the electricity grid.
> Many of the UK's windiest sites, and those where planning permission
> is relatively easy to obtain, have been taken.
> Potentially more damaging to investors is that the Department of Trade
> and Industry is to review its subsidy regime in 2007 and may reduce
> the money available for onshore wind farms.
> The Carbon Trust, one of the government's chief advisers, has called
> for other less mature technologies, such as offshore wind farms and
> tidal and wave energy, to be favoured in future.
> Complicating matters further is a global shortage of wind turbines,
> caused by greatly increased global demand and high steel prices.
> David Fitzsimmons, chief executive of Novera Energy, one of the UK's
> biggest pure play renewable companies, says he expects consolidation
> to take place this year. "We're taking this forward from being a
> cottage industry," he says. "I think the interest will be in
> [companies with] existing assets rather than developing new assets."
> Ethanol companies such as Renova Energy and GTL Resources also fared
> well in 2006. They are cashing in on the ethanol boom in the US.
> However, there are potential dangers for these companies too. The crux
> of their business model is to exploit the lower price of ethanol
> compared with petrol.
> Yet those economics are changing as a bad grain harvest in many places
> has pushed up the price of their raw materials, while the oil price
> has come off its recent highs.
> Investors putting their faith in other biofuels will have seen mixed
> results. D1 Oils, a company founded and chaired by entrepreneur Karl
> Watkin, plans to make biodiesel from the jatropha plant, which it
> believes it can grow in countries such as India.
> The company's shares have almost halved since April. It said this
> summer it was in early discussions about a buy-out but instead is
> raising nearly £50m by means of a share placing.
> In the meantime, a series of problems at its Teesside factory has
> beset the indebted Biofuels Corporation, which warned last month it
> would have to seek more funding next April in order to continue as a

> Emissions trading specialists have sprung up to take advantage of the

> However, the technology to make them has not yet been proven and it

Impax Environmental Markets

Companies involved with finding solutions to the environmental issues facing society have the potential to become a boom area for investors. The difficulty for the average punter with limited time and technical knowledge is distinguishing the interesting companies with promising technologies from those heading into a dead end.

The answer could be an investment trust run by professional investors. Impax Group, the Aim-listed environmental investor, raised new funds for its trust, Impax Environmental Markets (111.75p), in November and investors who put money in then have seen a 25 per cent return.

IEM invests in small and mid cap growth stocks active in environmental markets around the world. In the three years since its launch the fund has increased in value by 120 per cent. IEM is managed by Impax Asset Management, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Impax Group.

Over the past 12 months, Impax Group has more than tripled its funds under management to nearly £300m, making it one Europe's biggest and most experienced investors in renewables and other environmental technologies.

Impax now manages money for many of the UK's leading institutional investors including British Airways Pension Fund, Co-operative Insurance Society and Universities Superannuation Scheme. The group's share price has tripled since August 2005 but we recommend investing in the IEM trust.

IMPAX MENTIONED IN TODAY's GUARDIAN

Green power comes of age as big investors buy into fuel cell firm

Terry Macalister
Thursday February 23, 2006
The Guardian


The Australian-based technology company Ceramic Fuel Cells said yesterday that it was raising £37m on the London Stock Exchange (LSE) to fund a new factory, probably in the north of England.
The move came just a day before a US carbon credit specialist, Econergy International, sees its shares traded on the Aim market amid soaring values for "green" power firms. Next week the LSE hosts a "new energy" seminar expected to attract big names from the investment community, such as Merrill Lynch and Rothschild.

The CFC fundraising was executed via a share-placing with institutional investors, which will give the company a market value of a little over £60m.
More than 90 new institutional investors in Britain and elsewhere in Europe as well as specialist socially responsible funds took part in the oversubscribed placing, the company said.

CFC plans to commercialise its solid oxide fuel cell technology for use in combined home heating and power systems.

Brendan Dow, chief executive, said that his company could offer greener and more efficient boilers with integrated fuel cells run on natural gas for about £3,000. This compares with the £2,000 cost of a current condensing boiler as mandated by the British government.

No decision has been taken as to where the new factory will be located in Europe but Mr Dow said there was a "very good chance" it would be in the north of England or north Wales. Up to 200 people would be employed. If successful, there could be more facilities built, Mr Dow said. CFC shares, which are already listed on the Australian market, are expected to start trading on Aim on March 2.

The company could join a growing number of companies, such as Johnson Matthey, which are producing fuel cells in Britain for household, transport or industrial use. Mounting interest in low-carbon technology has led to a stampede of tiny companies to the LSE, such as Voller Energy, which produces fuel cells for yachts, and Ceres Power.

Impax Partners, which invests in alternative energy firms and which itself listed on Aim in 2001, has trebled its funds under management to £260m in the past year alone. Ian Simms, chief executive, said: "Mainstream investors are increasingly aware of the growth opportunities in environmental markets and of our ability to seize these opportunities on their behalf."

Impax now manages money for many institutional investors such as British Airways' pension fund and Friends Provident. A seminar on renewable companies held at the LSE last October attracted large City firms such as Merrills and Rothschild.

Big industrial groups such as GE of the United States and Germany's Siemens have expanded into this sector by taking over smaller alternative power firms.
