Former OhmConnect Con Edison User?Welcome to Meltek.
OhmConnect's demand response program is no longer available for Con Edison customers in New York — but Meltek keeps your rewards going. Same concept: reduce usage, get paid. No waitlist, no hardware required.
OhmConnect's Demand Response Program Ended in New York — Here's What Happened
OhmConnect ended its demand response program for Con Edison customers in New York. If OhmConnect stopped working or your account was closed, you're not alone — the program has been discontinued for all NYC and Westchester users.
Users may have a limited window to cash out outstanding Watts before accounts are deleted. If you haven't done so already, we recommend logging in to OhmConnect to claim any remaining balance.
So what now? Demand response programs still exist in New York — and Meltek is a free OhmConnect alternative that keeps you earning cash for saving energy.
