A buoyant tension leg platform arranged to support a renewable energy capturing device when the platform is submerged in a body of water. The platform has at least three vertices or lateral extents, at least three of the vertices or lateral extents have a mooring arrangement. The mooring arrangement includes a first mooring line extending between the vertex or lateral extent and a first anchor point in communication with a bed of the body of water. The first mooring line extends at an angle relative to the bed and a second mooring line extending from the vertex or lateral extent to a second anchor point. The second mooring line extends at an angle relative to the bed, such that the mooring arrangement of the corresponding vertex or lateral extent defines a triangle.
A buoyant tension leg platform arranged to support a renewable energy capturing device when the platform is submerged in a body of water, the platform having at least three vertices or lateral extents, wherein each vertex or lateral extent is a region of the platform located about outer edges of the platform, the at least three vertices or lateral extents each having a mooring arrangement;
