A buoyant tension leg platform is provided, the platform being arranged to support a renewable energy capturing device when the platform is submerged in a body of water. The platform comprises at least three vertices or lateral extents, at least three of said vertices or lateral extents having a mooring arrangement. The mooring arrangement comprises: a first mooring line extending between said vertex or lateral extent and a first anchor point in communication with a bed of said body of water, the first mooring line extending at an angle relative to said bed; and a second mooring line extending from the vertex or lateral extent to a second said anchor point, the second mooring line extending at the angle relative to said bed, such that each said mooring arrangement of a corresponding vertex or lateral extent defines a triangle positioned on a plane. The present disclosure aims to provide improved stability of such platforms when submerged and supporting a renewable energy capturing device.
