Power estimate
BasicClir re-forecasts how much power a plant will make, using real data. It does not simulate a new design.
What can Clir Renewables help you do?
- 01
Report to investors and the board
Clir builds portfolio reports that explain which assets do well or badly, and why. This helps you answer hard questions from owners and lenders. Clir Associate is a version made for leaders.
- 02
Check contract availability
Availability is how much of the time a plant could run. Clir checks the maker’s numbers against your contract. It then makes reports you can use in a dispute.
- 03
Watch plant performance
Clir cleans up SCADA data (the plant’s own data feed) and looks for problems. The company says it runs 50+ detectors to flag issues. This helps you find lost energy sooner.
- 04
Reset budgets and power forecasts
Clir uses real operating data to guess again how much power each plant will make over the years. This brings budgets and values closer to what the plant really does.
- 05
Ask questions in your AI assistant
The AI Layer lets you ask for reports and figures inside Claude, Copilot, Gemini or ChatGPT. It uses an open standard called MCP. Each answer links back to the Clir data.
