A tidal stream energy system comprising: a semi-submersible weathervaning floating structure 100 with tidal stream turbines and handling systems. The structure has a single point mooring system 103 and a separate dynamic electrical conduit 105. The tidal stream assembly (200, fig 2) floats on the surface. The hybrid mooring line (400 fig 2) is attached to an anchor foundation structure (500, fig 2). The hybrid mooring line and the dynamic electrical conduit allow the structure to weathervane so that the blades are always directed into the oncoming current flow.
