“…The topic of energy services is not new and has been considered from different angles in previous studies [5,6,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. Since the topic of this study is energy services focused on the end user, the focus will be to highlight only works that are directly related to the end user.…”

End use energy services have an important role in the ongoing energy transition process by improving the value proposition to the customer through better needs fulfillment and experience and providing system value to the energy system. This study presents a framework for end use energy services, developed as a result of co-creation with multiple stakeholders for a case study in a living lab context. The framework has been co-created using the principles of systems thinking to identify and map both existing and emerging elements and interactions within the energy system and customers. The framework is organized to include aspects from energy system and human system perspectives and divides the energy services development process into three distinct stages. The development stages comprise the strategic planning stage, service design stage, and solution stage. Key considerations are provided for each stage to develop a clearer understanding of the overall end use energy service process.

“…Some authors, such as [13][14][15] discuss the importance of making a distinction between energy services and a more final end service demand: "service demands represent energyrelated needs of the end-users" [16]. This approach is the closest to what we characterize as EUES.…”

“…'An energy service is a measure of the service actually provided to ultimate consumers by their own use of energy' ( [12], vi). Again, seven definitions resemble this (4,7,15,16,22,23,26). • More technical definitions, where energy services are described as being the result of conversion of energy or combining its use with technology of some kind, e.g.…”

“…Nissing & von Blottnitz [24], Haas [25] and Olerup [26] also all explicitly or implicitly make a distinction between energy services and a more final end service demand. Amongst these, Nissing & von Blottnitz [24] are clearest in stating that "energy services" represent the useful services delivered by end-user devices (e.g.…”

a b s t r a c tIt is often stated that people do not desire energy itself but the 'energy services' it provides. Despite its importance, initial searches revealed no obviously dominant definitions of the term 'energy services', and inconsistent illustrative examples. This paper presents the results of a content analysis and literature review which aimed to answer the question: 'what are energy services?'. One hundred and eighty-five articles from the journals Energy Policy and Energy Research and Social Science containing the term "energy service*" in the title, abstract or keywords were analysed, and additional documents relevant to the concept were identified for review. In total, 27 definitions of 'energy services' were recorded, and 173 separate examples (such as 'space heating' or 'lighting'). Thematic analysis of the definitions revealed a number of recurring themes, such as 'useful energy/work' and the provision of 'benefits' to people. Previous literature suggested the importance of distinguishing between 'energy services' and the 'end services or states' which they help obtain. On the basis of the identified themes, examples and conceptual discussion, the following definition of 'energy services' is proposed: Energy services are those functions performed using energy which are means to obtain or facilitate desired end services or states.
