ABSTRACT:
A wave power generating plant comprising an arrangement (20) of interconnected floating units (22). The arrangement (20) is anchored to the seabed via mooring buoys (26). Each floating unit comprises a floating pontoon (40), a stabilizer unit (44) and connecting means (48) for the interconnection of the floating units (22). The power is produced by relative vertical motion of the floating units (22), while each floating unit (22) is simultaneously locked in the horizontal plane.
