The installation comprises a generator (2) whose rotor is turned by one or more animals (7). The animal(s) is/are harnessed to a shaft (5) which extends perpendicular to the central vertical rotor shaft. This acts through a torque converter to turn an alternator. The installation for producing electricity comprises a generator (2) whose rotor is coupled to a motor drive, the motor force being provided by one or more animals (7). The animal(s) is/are harnessed to a shaft (5) which extends perpendicular to the central vertical rotor shaft. If more than one animal is used, they are equally spaced around the circumference of the installation. A torque converter (3) may be inserted between the driven shaft of the motor (3) and the generator (2). The animal used may be a draught horse, or a school horse. The generator used may be an alternator, with a nominal power which is greater than 3kW, preferably between 5 and 60kW.
