Apparatus comprising a platform (2 figure 1) having an upper surface level 4 and a lower surface level 6. The upper surface has attachment means 13 for attaching one or more energy-producing devices. Between the upper and lower surface levels there is at least one void space i.e. open cells 10 which may be flooded to submerse the platform. In this way, it is possible to transport and position a platform at an off-shore location in a cost effective manner without the use of specialized vessels. Preferably, the platform is a raft and a plurality of tidal turbines are attached to the upper surface level of the platform to enhance the energy output of the turbines. Later embodiment relates to a method of installing a platform at an offshore location. |
