A tidal barrage for directing a flow of water onto one or more turbines wherein the walls comprise three main parts and wherein both sides of the walls direct the flow onto turbines arranged in parallel. The first and third sections of wall 1,3 are parallel to the flow arriving and leaving the barrage. The second, central section 2 is set at 40 degrees to the flow. At the outside edge of the wall where the sections meet, the walls extend in arcs 4,5 to direct the water onto the turbine so that the turbine will rotate in the same direction whichever direction the water flows, the turbine having a vertical axis.
