One end of the water guide pipe (20) is connected to the sea surface floatation object (10), and the seawater which is taken in from the sea surface floatation object which is the water intake structure (10), is introduced downward under the sea surface. Power generators (30) which generate power from either the falling motion of the seawater or water pressure are in the water guide pipe (20), and carry out power generation. A submersible body (40) is in the water, and an accumulation space (41) is provided which takes in the seawater which is discharged from another end of the water guide pipe (20). The seawater which is taken into the accumulation space (41) in the submersible body (40) is discharged outward from the submersible body (40) by a discharge part (50).
