Siemens is to build a wind turbine producing plant in England, making seven hundred roles.The plant will be built at an at present undisclosed site on the east or north-east coast, and will make Siemens the fourth foreign company to speculate in the United Kingdom wind turbine market, after US firms GE and Clipper Windpower, and Japan's Mitsubishi.

British company Vestas closed its Isle of Wight turbine plant last year, in spite of a £6m central authority handout.

Siemens, which already employs just about seventeen thousand staff in the United Kingdom, will invest £80m in the new plant. Investment in offshore developments is anticipated to surpass £100bn, making the United Kingdom the planet's 'wind capital', according to the Telegram .
