Consumer EngagementConsumer engagement meets grid operations

Consumer engagement is key to helping utilities manage a distributed grid. Providing the right information at the right time is critical for satisfied customers and optimized grid management.

Bridging the gap between consumers and the grid

Creating engaging consumer experiences are foundational to effectively plan, operate and optimize the grid of the future. Electric vehicles (EVs) and distributed energy resources (DERs) bring an unprecedented level of complexity to grid operations with their dynamic and mobile loads. Itron’s Grid Edge platform and partner ecosystem integrates real-time IT and OT data to deliver the right data at the right time, driving the right consumer engagement to optimally operate the grid of the future.

Empower and engage more customers with improved data insights and services from real-time usage alerts and detailed load disaggregation information.
Support your customers —and your grid—with expert consulting services.
Reduce the time and cost associated with testing, piloting and deploying third-party consumer engagement solutions with Itron’s partner network.

Turn smart customers into grid assets

Combining Itron’s advanced metering and grid edge data, extensive DER control solutions and a variety of third-party partner customer service applications enables rapid deployment of solutions that meet targeted customer and grid needs—simultaneously.

Greater distribution System Visibility

Distributed energy resources (DERs such as solar, wind and EVs) place increasingly variable and complex load onto the grid—and it's more important than ever to understand their impact.

Distributed intelligence (DI) from Itron moves analysis, decision-making and control to the grid's edge. This unique capability provides unprecedented insights into power quality, voltage monitoring, high impedance detection, transformer load management, meter bypass detection, EV and solar (PV) awareness, and much more.

We've got an app for that

Dl applications can be downloaded from the Itron Enterpeise Application Center to devices in the field to enable new functionality and new value. Learn more about the challenges our application solves today, as well as some on the horizon.
