Deployment in under 90 days
A streamlined implementation built around cooperative workflows. Stand the program up in a quarter, not a year.
NRTC DERMS powered by Texture
DER management, built for electric co-ops
NRTC and Texture have partnered to deliver NRTC DERMS powered by Texture — a platform purpose-built for electric co-ops to make managing distributed energy resources accessible for all.
Purpose-built for electric cooperatives
A DER management platform built with co-ops, not adapted for them.
NRTC and Texture have partnered to deliver NRTC DERMS powered by Texture — a platform designed around how electric cooperatives actually run programs. Real-time meter data, no-cost OEM integrations, configurable event dispatch, and member-aware communications, all wrapped with NRTC's deployment and marketing support. The result is a DERMS that meets co-ops where they are and gets DER programs into the field in a quarter, not a multi-year build.
What co-ops can expect
A program-ready DERMS that NRTC and Texture stand up with you — deployment, integrations, member outreach, and operational visibility from day one.
No-cost device integration
Connect supported devices to the platform without additional integration fees or hidden costs. NRTC DERMS powered by Texture does not charge co-ops for OEM integrations.
BYO OEM devices
Batteries, EVs, EV chargers, solar inverters, and thermostats from the OEMs your members already buy — supported on day one through Texture's first-party OEM integrations.
Behavioral demand response
Engage members with behavioral demand response (BDR) programs that drive participation and reduce peak load without requiring device installation.
White-label member marketing
NRTC marketing support to drive member engagement under your cooperative's brand. Templates, outreach, and program collateral your team can use day one.
Real-time meter and program visibility
Real-time visibility into load reduction, event performance, and settlement outcomes — the operational foundation BDR and DER programs need to run cleanly.
How it works
From program setup through ongoing operations, NRTC DERMS powered by Texture covers the lifecycle a co-op needs to run a DER and behavioral demand response program well.
Program setup and device enrollment
Configure your program, enroll members, and bring connected devices online through Texture's OEM integrations. No firmware work, no hardware swaps.
Configurable event dispatch and member notifications
Dispatch events with the cadence your program requires, send member notifications, and respect member opt-out preferences end-to-end.
Behavioral demand response program management
Run BDR programs from enrollment through dispatch, performance measurement, and member communication — all from one platform.
Real-time operational monitoring of connected assets
Monitor batteries, EV chargers, solar, and thermostats across your service territory with sub-15-minute telemetry from every supported device.
Ongoing reporting and performance evaluation
Settlement-ready reporting on event performance, load reduction, and program economics that holds up to board, regulator, and member scrutiny.
Employee training and member communications
NRTC-led employee training and member communication support to drive participation and keep the program healthy over the long run.
Powered by the Texture platform
NRTC DERMS is built on Texture's grid platform — the same real-time data plane, OEM integrations, and program tooling used by cooperatives and utilities across the country. Co-ops get a DERMS that ships fast and a platform that keeps getting better as the ecosystem grows.
First-party integrations with 50+ OEMs so the devices your members already own can join the program on day one.
Real-time telemetry, dispatch confirmation, and settlement-grade reporting built for grid operations.
