A hydroelectricity generating unit capturing marine current energy includes a floating hull, at least one paddle wheel assembly, at least one generator assembly, a torque transmission system, and an anti-drift mooring system. The at least one paddle wheel assembly is rotatably mounted to the floating hull and operatively coupled with the at least one generator assembly by the torque transmission system, wherein a kinetic energy of the at least one paddle wheel assembly is transferred to the at least one generator assembly by the torque transmission system to generate hydroelectricity. The torque transmission system can be a hydraulic system, a pulley system, a multiple gearbox system, or a direct driveshaft. The floating hull is tensionably coupled to a subsurface environment by the anti-drift mooring system, enabling the least one paddle wheel assembly to capture water current.
