An offshore power station (100) includes a wind turbine (1), a water desalination unit (20) and an electrolysis apparatus (10) for producing hydrogen (12). The water desalination unit (20) are connected to an inlet (40) of salted water, the electrolysis apparatus (10) being connected to the water de- salination unit (20) for receiving a supply (21) of desalinated water. The electrolysis apparatus (10) and the water desalination unit (20) are thermally connected to one another in such a way that a heat power input (11) from the electrolysis apparatus (10) is provided to the water desalination unit (20) for the production of the supply (21) of desalinated water and a cooling power input (23) from the water desalination unit (20) is provided to the electrolysis apparatus (10).
