In this letter, we present the performance of a $$100~\mu\mathrm{m}\times 400~\mu\mathrm{m} \times 40~\mathrm{nm}$$ tungsten (W) Transition-Edge Sensor (TES) with a critical temperature of 40 mK. This device has a measured noise equivalent power (NEP) of $$1.5\times 10^{-18}\ \mathrm{W}/\sqrt{\mathrm{Hz}}$$, in a bandwidth of $2.6$ kHz, indicating a resolution for Dirac delta energy depositions of $$40\pm 5~\mathrm{meV}$$ (rms). The performance demonstrated by this device is a critical step towards developing a $$\mathcal{O}(100)~\mathrm{meV}$$ threshold athermal phonon detectors for low-mass dark matter searches.
