A partially immersed structure 56, 58 has a flow passage 62, 70 in a side wall 64 which is in contact with water, equipped with a power generation system 60. A turbine 60, which may be a waterwheel, is driven by flow through the passage 62, 70. The turbine 60 is connected by a shaft to a generator on the opposite, dry, side of the wall. The structure may be a hull of a boat or a fixed structure, such as a quay, where a hull is to be moored in proximity to a fixed structure, the openings to the respective flow passages 62, 70 may be aligned so that water drives turbines in both the fixed 56 and floating 58 structures.
