Norway’s Government Pension Fund Global exited the share register of Whitehaven Coal in 2014, following a government directive to terminate its exposure to the coal sector. The Norwegian Government now wants the sovereign wealth fund to divest shares in electricity companies that have a high exposure to coal-fired generation and mining companies whose revenues are heavily weighted toward thermal coal. This could force it to offload shares in AGL Energy and New Hope Corporation.
