A wind turbine assembly 200 comprising a rotatable blade assembly 202, a tower 208, a generator 206 mounted to the base of the tower, and a driveshaft (fig.15, 210) connected to the blade assembly and the generator. The assembly may be an off-shore assembly and the blades may be mounted horizontally and connected to the tower via a bearing and the drive shaft may be located concentrically in relation to the bearing. The blade assembly and/or base may comprise a right-angle gearbox (fig.15, 212). There may be a generator export conduit. The base may comprise floats 220. There may be a fish farm. A mooring system assembly comprising a floating structure, an export conduit, and a mooring buoy anchored to the seabed comprising connecting means e.g. locking pins, and an export and dynamic conduit connector. The structure comprises a tensioning system e.g. pulleys, which maintains tension in the export conduit and a conduit drum that may be fixed to the structure via a bearing. The mooring buoy may be generally cylindrical/ bell-shaped. The system may comprise a base which is connected to floats. An offshore energy generation system comprising a wind turbine assembly and a mooring system as previously described.
