The installation site is determined inside the rock formation (F), at a distance from the open rock surface (1). A power plant well which is also serving as a building site (3) is blasted out from the rock formation with a natural rock wall (4) separating the well from the sea. After the plant is completed, the well is filled with water and the partition wall is removed by blasting, opening the well to the sea.
