Siemens freezes new UK wind power investment following Brexit vote

German energy firm will not make fresh plans until the UK's European relationship becomes clearer, but existing manufacturing will not be affected

Siemens is putting new wind power investment plans in the UK on hold due to uncertainty caused by last week's Brexit vote, the Germany energy company has told the Guardian.

A 310m manufacturing hub in Hull that employs 1,000 people will not be affected by the decision, and should still begin producing blades and assembling turbines next year.
