A buoyant tension leg platform 102 is provided, the platform being arranged to support a renewable energy capturing device 104 when the platform is submerged in a body of water. The platform comprises at least three vertices 106, at least three of said vertices having a mooring arrangement 108. The mooring arrangement comprises a first mooring line 110 extending between said vertex and a first anchor point 112 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 114 extending from the first vertex to a second said anchor point 116, the second mooring line extending at the angle relative to said bed, such that each said mooring arrangement of a corresponding vertex defines a triangle 118 positioned on a plane.
