Northland, a Toronto-based independent power producer, blasted into the European offshore sector through its 2013 acquisition of the Gemini project, which uses Siemens 4MW turbines.

Northland owns 60% of Gemini, with other owners including Siemens Financial Services (20%); Van Oord (10%); and N.V.  HVC (10%).

The turbines, which were installed by the vessels Aeolus and Pacific Osprey, will now move into the commissioning phase, with Gemini slated for full commercial operation in mid-2017.
