A wind turbine mounting apparatus having a first non-yawing section; and a second yawing section affixed to a first end of the first section by a yawing mechanism, the yawing mechanism permits rotation of the second section relative to the first section about a yaw axis. The second section comprises at least two wind turbines, each of which have a rotor arranged to rotate about a rotor axis, the rotor axis defining a hub height and a plurality of blades affixed to the rotor. The rotation of the blades defines a swept area of the blades. The first section includes a first section width. The first section width is smaller at the first end than at a second end distal to the first end. The present invention provides a mounting solution for mounting multiple wind turbines to maximise energy captured per installation, while overcoming issues presented by mounting multiple turbines.
