A turbine 8 which is built above an upright tunnel 7 and is driven by wind from collectors 3, 4, 5. A vortex is formed in the tunnel 7 which may be divided into two sections (Fig. 4). A second turbine (24) is located at the junction between the two sections of tunnel 7. Solar cells may also be located on the plant. In use the energy generated may be used to split water to produce hydrogen gas. The hydrogen gas or any explosive mixture may be combusted to power a turbine of the plant when the prevailing wind is such that it cannot produce power. Also, high pressure water jets or fans may be provided to drive a turbine, and, it is stated, the turbine can be powered by all these means simultaneously if desired. <IMAGE>
