The invention relates to an improved, in particular simpler, lighter, mechanically more stable and operationally more reliable offshore wind power plant (100) that can float. By means of a cable (110) constructed as a combination of a power line that is held at least virtually without loading and a holding cable that absorbs all the mechanical forces that occur for holding the wind power plant on a single fixed-location anchoring point (111), said power plant can be connected to the anchoring point such that the power plant can move with six degrees of freedom. A coupling (112) is arranged at a single connecting point (118) between the cable and the wind power plant and, to make an electrical connection, is constructed with a sliding coupling and, for mechanical transmission of force, is constructed with a swivel coupling. The wind power plant has a supporting unit (101) constructed as a semi-submersible having ballast units (102) and buoyancy units (103), in particular a floating unit, and a supporting mast (104) which is firmly connected to the supporting unit and has a machine gondola (105) fixedly arranged on the latter and having at least one rotor (106) and at least one electric generator. The highest possible horizontal distance is formed between the connecting point and a substantially vertical plane of rotation of the rotor.
