_DER Optimizer (DERO) — aggregator DERMS platform powered by Texture_
> **Note:** **Production Ready**
>
> This integration is live. Texture powers the Itron DER Optimizer platform under the hood.

## Overview

Texture powers Itron's DER Optimizer (DERO), an end-to-end aggregator DERMS platform that brings together the industry's broadest ecosystem of flexible loads — from load control switches and smart thermostats to batteries and electric vehicles — and integrates grid-edge intelligence to deliver a wide range of DER-based grid services including economic dispatch, non-wires alternatives, local grid balancing, and decarbonization.

DER Optimizer is built upon the proven capabilities of the IntelliSOURCE® platform, the longest-tenured DRMS solution in production in North America. These foundational capabilities include customer enrollment, device connectivity and control, telemetry ingestion and analytics, reporting, and customer support. DERO adds grid-edge analytics and optimization by integrating sensing and control from Itron's Distributed Intelligence applications, enabling high-value DER management use cases such as grid asset protection and voltage management.

## Key Capabilities

- **Broadest DER ecosystem** — Load control switches, smart thermostats, batteries, EVs, and more in a single platform
- **Grid-edge intelligence** — Integrated analytics and optimization from Itron's Distributed Intelligence applications
- **Economic dispatch** — Optimize DER fleet dispatch for maximum grid and market value
- **Non-wires alternatives** — Defer costly infrastructure upgrades through coordinated DER management
- **Local grid balancing** — Real-time DER coordination for voltage management and asset protection

## Category

**TPDO / DERMS** — Integrate with third-party DER orchestration and distributed energy resource management systems for demand response, virtual power plants, and grid services.
