A buoyant offshore renewable energy system platform with a framework 30 with at least three vertexes and at least one mooring member. Each of the vertexes has at least one mooring member 60 and 65, and a buoyancy member 70 which has a number of buoyancy units and a renewable energy convertor 90. The converter may be a wave or tidal converter and the framework may have a wind turbine (100 figure 2). The platform may have upper 40 and lower 50 portions where the upper portion remains above the surface of the water. The mooring may be attached to the centre of the buoyancy units and the number of buoyancy members and vertexes may be equal. The framework may have an equal number of non-buoyant vertexes to buoyant vertexes.
