IntelliSOURCE®

The IntelliSOURCE® solution suite has long set the industry standard for demand response management systems (DRMS). It delivers a comprehensive demand side management ecosystem that unifies solutions for managing demand response, energy efficiency, and distributed energy resources (DERs). IntelliSOURCE automates and streamlines every phase of demand response, energy efficiency, and DER operations across residential, small business, and commercial & industrial customers. It also offers fast, preconfigured DRMS options tailored for cooperatives and municipal utilities. Building on this strong foundation, IntelliSOURCE is evolving into IntelliFLEX®—a next generation grid edge platform designed to unify demand response, DERs, and advanced grid intelligence. IntelliFLEX is built on Itron’s Intelligent Edge Operating System (IEOS), creating a common data backbone that integrates AMI data, GIS topology, DER telemetry, and forecasting tools into a cohesive system. This evolution enables utilities to seamlessly enroll and manage devices, leverage granular locational awareness, support system and feeder level constraints, and unlock new use cases such as short term operational forecasting, state estimation, flexible export/import limits, and real time DER control. The IntelliFLEX roadmap emphasizes rapid customer driven development, expanded integration capabilities, enhanced device connectivity and diagnostics, and a clear migration path for existing IntelliSOURCE customers. The platform is engineered to support both today’s demand side management needs and tomorrow’s grid edge use cases, including market participation, distribution level optimization, and DERMS grade operational workflows.
