About
Clir Renewables delivers AI-driven asset performance management (APM) for renewable energy portfolios, serving asset managers, investment managers, and C-suite executives overseeing wind, solar, and BESS (Battery Energy Storage Systems) assets. The platform is built on the industry's largest enriched dataset — over 350 GW of operating assets — giving it unmatched benchmarking and anomaly detection capabilities. Clir's three core products address distinct portfolio needs. Clir Portfolio is a fully integrated APM platform that unifies portfolio-wide data for effortless management, detailed reporting, proactive issue detection, and long-term risk forecasting. Clir Enhance improves secondary SCADA systems by enriching raw data with Clir's proprietary data model, enabling strategic decision-making at the portfolio level. Clir Associate optimizes executive workflows, surfacing prioritized insights to help leadership act faster on critical issues. Key use cases include investor-grade portfolio reporting, contractual availability reconciliation (with dispute-ready reports that challenge OEM calculations), budget reconciliation, and operational energy yield reforecasting using real operating data. The platform reduces manual analysis time, increases stakeholder confidence, and has demonstrated measurable ROI — including helping clients recover $250K through targeted coating insights. Clir is ideal for infrastructure funds, independent power producers, and renewable energy investment firms seeking data-driven portfolio intelligence.
