An apparatus, comprising a monopile 14 structure of a composite material, to be inserted into a pre-drilled rock socket 12 or borehole, said monopile being suitable for receiving a submerged device 16 for extracting energy from a tidal flow. Composite material may comprise a lightweight material, especially a fibre-reinforced plastic such as carbon fibre, epoxy resin or glass fibre vinyl ester resin matrix, avoiding the need for corrosion or cathodic protection. A method of securing said monopile 14 into said rock socket 12 and attaching said monopile to receive a device 16 for extracting energy from the tidal flow. |
