The generation of electricity is described, using an offshore wind turbine. A generating sub-assembly ( 101 ) is supported by support mechanism ( 103 ) upon a support structure ( 102 ). The generating sub-assembly has a wind-responsive turbine and an electrical generator. The support structure includes a buoyancy portion ( 106 ) for submersion in water and a mast portion ( 108 ) extending from said buoyancy portion to extend the generating sub-assembly above the waterline. The support structure is buoyant and is free to roll when floating in water and the support mechanism is hinged to allow the generating sub-assembly to maintain an operational angle during the rolling of the support structure. |
