Windmill generator sets, each including a windmill and a generator driven by the windmill, are installed on a floating body floating on water. The floating body is formed as a triangular truss structure. Each side of the triangle of the floating body is formed by a hollow beam having a rectangular cross section. The windmill generator sets are disposed on the floating body at the respective corners of the triangle. The distance between the centers of windmills, adjacent to each other, is set at a value smaller than four times, preferably smaller than two times, the diameter of the rotors of the windmills. By setting the distance between the centers of the windmills at a value smaller than four times of the rotor diameter, the construction cost of the floating body can be reduced without any accompanying reduction in the power generation efficiency of the windmill generator sets, whereby the unit power generating cost of the plant can be reduced.
