ClearGate Advisory provides independent power readiness risk assessments for lenders and private equity investors financing energy-adjacent assets across the Pacific Northwest and Intermountain West.

As interconnection queues extend beyond eight years in some markets and grid constraints tighten across the Western Interconnection, power infrastructure risk has become a material factor in asset valuation and loan underwriting. ClearGate exists to fill that diligence gap.  Delivering structured, credible assessments before capital is committed.

Our work covers six core risk dimensions: interconnection status and queue position, grid dependency and single-point exposure, on-site generation adequacy, regulatory and tariff compliance, consequence mapping, and remediation cost estimation. Each engagement produces a RAG-scored risk report structured for lender and investor review.

ClearGate is led by Crystal Berry, a transactional attorney with deep experience in commercial agreements and infrastructure transactions. ClearGate Advisory is headquartered in Boise, Idaho, and serves clients across the Pacific Northwest and Intermountain West. ClearGate’s assessments are advisory in nature and do not constitute legal advice.
