An offshore energy supply system 1 comprising an energy supply module 2 to supply energy from an energy supply to a user 7, at least one energy supply connection means 8 for connecting the energy supply module to the energy supply, and a user connection means 4 for connecting the energy supply module to the user. The energy supply module may be configured to be located on a seabed 9. Th energy may be electrical energy. The energy may be a fuel such as hydrogen, ammonia or methanol. The connection may comprise a cable, hose or other conduit. The user connection means may comprise a buoyancy element which may be located below the sea surface. The user may be a ship, boat, or other vessel which is recharged or refuelled by the energy supply system. A remote operated vehicle may be used to facilitate the connection between the energy supply system and the user. There is also disclosed a method of installing on offshore energy supply system.
