Ørsted shares hit all-time low after order to halt windfarm

Ørsted's shares plunged 17% after it was forced to stop construction on its $1.5bn (£1.1bn) Revolution Wind project off the coast of Rhode Island.

The order to down tools came despite the fact that the project is 80% complete with 45 out of 65 wind turbines installed.

The US government issued its stop-work order late on Friday, citing a need to "address concerns related to the protection of national security interests", although it did not provide any further detail.

Ørsted, which is 50.1% owned by the Danish state, has been hit hard by Donald Trump's hardline stance on offshore wind projects.
