A hydroelectricity generating unit capturing marine wave energy and marine current energy is completed with a buoyant floating frame, a plurality of electric generating pontoons, and a floating frame mooring system. The buoyant floating frame is positioned underneath water and connected with a seabed by the floating frame mooring system and connected with the plurality of electric generating pontoons by a plurality of pontoon mooring systems. The buoyant floating frame includes marine current electric generating units which are rotatably connected within the buoyant floating frame and utilize the marine current energy to produce electricity. The plurality of electric generating pontoons also produces additional electricity by the flowing marine wave energy and marine current energy. A power farm can be constructed with multiple hydroelectricity generating units, where the multiple hydroelectricity generating units are interconnected with each other through a horizontal mooring system in order to provide additional stability.
