Itron Showcases Advancements In Grid Edge Intelligence An…

Itron is showcasing the latest advancements with its Grid Edge Intelligence portfolio as well as its newly formed Resiliency Solutions segment at DTECH 2026 in San Diego, California.

As utilities grapple with increased grid complexity and energy demand from electrification and data centers, they require greater visibility and control at the grid edge to ensure power quality, reliable power delivery and accurate forecasting. Leveraging distributed intelligence (DI), Itron’s Grid Edge Intelligence portfolio delivers end-to-end business solutions to utilities at scale in collaboration with ecosystem partners. The solutions within the Grid Edge Intelligence portfolio build on Itron’s scale with more than 16 million DI-enabled meters shipped, more than 100 million endpoints under management and 70GWh of flexible customer load and generation dispatched in 2025.

Itron is also enhancing its Grid Edge Intelligence portfolio to enable Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) at the edge in collaboration with NVIDIA, Microsoft, AWS, Snowflake, Gordian Technologies, NET2GRID, and Bidgely, expanding Itron’s ability to deliver real-time AI-powered DI insights and solutions. Moreover, Itron continues to advance its strategic collaborations with Schneider Electric to improve real-time visibility, optimize distributed energy resources (DERs) and modernize grid operations.

Through its recent acquisitions of Urbint and Locusview, Itron’s new Resiliency Solutions segment integrates the capabilities of Urbint’s Protection Solutions, Locusview’s Digital Construction Management (DCM) and Itron’s Grid Edge Intelligence to help utilities holistically manage their critical systems.

“Utilities are undergoing a profound transformation driven by rapid electrification, growing data center demand and increasing grid complexity. Itron is broadening our focus to deliver comprehensive grid edge intelligence and resiliency solutions that empower critical infrastructure providers to plan smarter, build faster and operate safer,” said Tom Deitrich, Itron’s president and CEO. “By leveraging AI and ML, advanced analytics and real-time insights, we are committed to helping utilities not only overcome today’s challenges but also lead the way toward a more sustainable, reliable and resilient future.”

Itron’s Grid Edge Intelligence Portfolio

Itron’s Grid Edge Intelligence portfolio spans the utility value chain, from the customer to DER Management Systems (DERMS) to grid operations. Key solutions will be on display at DTECH, including:

• Customer experience: Itron’s Customer Experience solutions unify real‑time load disaggregation, DER insights and grid‑capacity data into a single, consistent data resource accessible across utility operations and customer program teams. Itron’s updated DER Awareness bundle and load disaggregation solutions—now also powered by NET2GRID EnergyAI—provides real‑time detection of EV charging events and solar generation at the grid edge with the EV Awareness application achieving over 90% accuracy in identifying and monitoring individual charging events.
• DER management: Itron’s IntelliFLEX DERMS solution dispatched over 70GWh of flexible customer load and generation in 2025. The Grid Edge DERMS solution now hosts over 20MW of battery storage, manages PV solar across the three largest territories in Australia and manages tens of thousands of EVs. Distributed intelligence now enables critical autonomous load management for customers who want to electrify without investing tens of thousands of dollars in electric infrastructure upgrades, with Itron demonstrating the end-to-end capability to prevent electric panel upgrades and safeguard transformers through local autonomous operation of EV chargers through the meter.
• Advanced grid reliability: Itron’s Advanced Grid Reliability solutions target an average reduction of outage minutes by 10% and can increase capacity by up to 20% through improved asset utilization based on industry estimates. This solution is enabled by real-time, system-wide visibility and analytics. First use cases will be available to utility customers this year with a focus on high-confidence outage awareness and restoration, combining AMI alarms with real-time DI information.

Itron’s Resiliency Solutions at DTECH

Itron’s new Resiliency Solutions are meant to increase efficiency, resilience, and reliability during operations and enable capabilities to prepare for high-pressure events, natural disasters, and worker safety during field work.

This unified approach can help utilities to plan smarter, respond faster and operate more safely. Itron’s Resiliency Solutions on display in the Itron, Urbint and Locusview booths include:

• Protection Solutions (Urbint booth #423)
  • Worker safety: Enables crews to identify hazards and controls at the point of work. 
  • Damage prevention: Reviews, manages and prioritizes “811” dig requests to prevent third-party damage to underground assets. 
  • Emergency preparedness & response: Connects the entire natural disaster lifecycle by predicting damage and expediting a utility’s response. 
• Digital Construction Management (Locusview booth #1539)
  • LocusviewBUILD: A digital construction management solution designed to streamline high-fidelity data collection from the field, ensuring real-time project tracking and accurate digital as-builting (the process of capturing what was built, digitally and in real-time).
  • LocusviewCONNECT: An ArcGIS Pro add-in that automates the integration of field-collected data into the GIS, eliminating manual data entry and accelerating the close-out process for utility networks.
  • LocusviewINSPECT: A specialized module focused on quality inspections, allowing teams to digitize compliance workflows and maintain safety and regulatory standards during construction.
  • LocusviewINVOICE: A module that leverages validated as-built data to automate invoice creation, meant to reduce errors and accelerate the billing cycle for utilities and contractors.
