Zusammenfassung:	Apparatus for use in converting kinetic energy from moving water to electrical energy, the apparatus comprising a ramped water channel, a water receiving unit, a turbine, and transportation means. The apparatus is formed such that when it is in use as a shore-based installation it can be transported from the shore to a body of water via the transportation means so that the ramped water channel enters the body of water to an adjustable degree such that water contacts and moves up the ramped channel and into the water receiving unit where it drops under gravity and in so doing causes the turbine to turn to facilitate the generation of electricity.
