An hydroelectric unit extends along a longitudinal axis and includes a least one rim-driven hydraulic machine comprising an impeller provided with at least two blades, and at least one motor/generator configured to selectively supply mechanical energy to the impeller or convert mechanical energy produced by the impeller into electricity. The motor/generator includes an annular rotor arranged about the impeller and an annular stator arranged, at a distance, about the annular rotor; the annular rotor being coupled to the impeller and including a plurality of rotor poles, which are distributed along an annular surface, are arranged parallel one to another and extend transversal to a plane containing the longitudinal axis forming a first angle with the plane containing the longitudinal axis. The annular stator includes a plurality of stator windings and a plurality of stator slots configured to guide the magnetic flux and to house respective stator windings. The stator slots are arranged parallel one to another and extend transversal to a plane containing the longitudinal axis forming a second angle with the plane containing the longitudinal axis.
