IntelliFLEX

Utilities face unprecedented grid stress as they serve new DER loads and integrate generation at the edge without compromising reliability. Traditional, centralized approaches are no longer enough. Itron’s IntelliFLEX, an AMI-based grid edge DERMS solution, provides real-time visibility, control and optimization of DERs to strengthen reliability and improve integration. The IntelliFLEX suite brings together the industry’s broadest ecosystem of flexible loads—from load control switches and smart thermostats to batteries and EVs, with grid edge intelligence to deliver a wide range of DER-based grid services, including economic dispatch, non-wires alternatives, local balancing and decarbonization. In a market crowded with point solutions, IntelliFLEX stands apart with a single platform that helps utilities address the broadest range of grid and customer use cases, from demand response and DER aggregation to local optimization and market participation, while delivering faster time to value, greater operational impact and a more scalable path to grid-edge transformation.

With a unified platform and proven grid edge intelligence, IntelliFLEX helps utilities move beyond siloed programs and orchestrate DERs as a strategic grid asset. The result is a more resilient, responsive and future-ready grid that can adapt to changing load patterns, support decarbonization goals and strengthen customer engagement.
