AMSTERDAM (AP) — A Canadian firm says it has raised 2.8 billion euros ($3.8 billion) to build a major new windmill farm 85 kilometers off the Dutch coast near Germany.

Northland Power of Toronto said Thursday the 600 megawatt “Gemini” project should be completed in 2017. That’s enough electricity to supply roughly 750,000 Dutch households, if operating at full capacity.
