Abstract

Apparatus comprising a platform having an upper surface level and a lower surface level, the upper surface level including attachment means for attaching one or more energy-producing devices and wherein between the upper and lower surface levels there is at least one void space. 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 specialised vessels. Advantageously, the platform is a raft and a plurality of tidal turbines is attached to the upper surface level of the platform to enhance the energy output of the turbines.
