An infrastructure arrangement 5 for use in an underwater power generation installation includes a support structure for engagement with the bed 3 of a body of water, and an infrastructure module which houses infrastructure equipment such as monitoring, switching or control equipment, or transformers for connection to power generating units of the installation. The infrastructure module is releasably engaged with the support structure, so that it can be recovered to the surface for maintenance. The connection between the infrastructure module and the support may allow connection in any angular orientation, and the connectors may be able to be rotated to allow alignment. There may be a connector part on either the module or the support that is axially moved into engagement with the mating part. |
