Meltek Recognized by Con Edison with 2025 Residential Market Award
Meltek has been recognized by Con Edison with the 2025 Residential Market Award, highlighting the company's strong performance in residential load relief delivered and significant year-over-year growth in enrolled capacity and customer participation.
Being recognized by Con Edison is a testament to the thousands of New York households who chose to participate in demand response this year, and to the incredible work of the Meltek team that made this growth possible. Every kilowatt-hour reduced during a peak event means cleaner air, a more stable grid, and a reward in someone’s pocket. We’re proud of what we’ve built together—and we’re just getting started.
Helping Households Participate in the Energy Transition
Meltek is a New York–based climate technology platform that enables residential customers to participate in utility demand response programs and earn rewards for reducing electricity use during peak demand events.
When the electric grid experiences its highest levels of demand — often during periods of extreme heat — Meltek notifies participating customers in advance so they can temporarily reduce electricity consumption. These small, short-term reductions help utilities maintain grid stability and avoid activating costly and highly polluting peaker power plants.
Customers are rewarded based on how much electricity they reduce during these events.
Real Impact for Customers and the Grid
Demand response is one of the fastest and most cost-effective ways to strengthen grid reliability while supporting the transition to cleaner energy.
Through its platform, Meltek helps:
- Households earn rewards for flexible energy use
- Utilities manage peak demand more efficiently
- Communities reduce pollution from peaker plants
- The grid integrate more renewable energy resources
By coordinating thousands of participating households, Meltek is able to deliver meaningful demand reduction during critical periods for the electric system.
Simple Participation for Everyday Homes
Meltek makes demand response easy for residential customers. Participants can sign up in minutes by securely connecting their utility account. Once enrolled, customers receive notifications before demand response events and can choose to reduce electricity use manually or through supported smart devices.
Participation requires no equipment purchases, no installation, and no fees.
Meltek also supports optional device integration for technologies commonly found in modern homes, including:
- Electric vehicles and EV chargers
- Smart thermostats and HVAC systems
- Home batteries
- Solar-powered homes
These integrations help customers better manage their energy usage and maximize rewards during demand response events.
Expanding Access to Residential Demand Response
Meltek currently serves customers across several utility territories in New York, including:
- Con Edison — New York City and Westchester
- PSEG Long Island — Long Island
- Orange & Rockland Utilities — Rockland, Orange, and surrounding regions
As demand response programs continue to grow, Meltek is focused on expanding participation and making energy flexibility accessible to more households.
