Energy equity: A rapid evidence review focused on developed economies
Energy is a vital requirement for human life. However, procedural, distributive, and structural inequalities exist in its use, production and distribution. While equity through public health, environment, and education lenses are widely established concepts, ‘energy equity’ has not been clearly defined or conceptualised in the same way. To explore this, we conducted a rapid evidence review of articles containing definitions of energy equity and/o…
How do we want to buy and sell electricity? Contrasting preferences from the United Kingdom and South Korea
Electricity end-users play a crucial role in the energy transition. Their preferences shape the adoption of new electricity supply models, such as local energy markets and aggregator models. Whilst previous studies have explored end-user preferences, most have been conducted in liberalised electricity markets, and research on prosumer-specific preferences remains limited. To address these gaps, this study compares preferences of prosumers and con…
Everyday laboratories: Collective speculation and energy futures
Growing public concern surrounding climate change has not always led to better public knowledge of what might constitute effective action, while growing knowledge does not always produce greater concern. We argue that this gap between knowledge and concern is reproduced by prevailing practices for anticipating energy futures – including those associated with top-down modelling and forecasting, and those attempting to imagine or infer alternative …
Consumer preferences for business models with multiple electricity suppliers: Online choice experiments in the United Kingdom
Under the UK's ‘supplier hub principle’, consumers have a single, licensed electricity supplier at a time that interfaces between the consumer and the energy system. Allowing consumers to have multiple electricity suppliers at a time is a proposed solution to enabling models such as peer-to-peer trading, local electricity supply, and managed operation of smart appliances and vehicle charging. This would allow engagement with innovative energy mod…
Anticipating distributional impacts of peer-to-peer energy trading: Inference from a realist review of evidence on Airbnb
Peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading – where energy prosumers transact directly between each other – could help enable transition to a low-carbon energy system. If it is to be supported in policy and regulation, it is important to anticipate the distributional impacts (or how it might impact segments of society differently). However, real-world evidence on P2P energy trading is currently extremely limited. To address this challenge in the short- to …
Smart local energy systems (SLES): A framework for exploring transition, context, and impacts
Improving energy research practices: Guidance for transparency, reproducibility and quality
Energy use is of crucial importance for the global challenge of climate change, and also is an essential part of daily life. Hence, research on energy needs to be robust and valid. Other scientific disciplines have experienced a reproducibility crisis, i.e. existing findings could not be reproduced in new studies. The ‘TReQ’ approach is recommended to improve research practices in the energy field and arrive at greater transparency, reproducibili…
Demand response beyond the numbers: A critical reappraisal of flexibility in two United Kingdom field trials
Validity of energy social research during and after Covid-19: Challenges, considerations, and responses

Flexibility capital and flexibility justice in smart energy systems
Energy services: A conceptual review
It 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 E…
Public acceptability of domestic demand-side response in Great Britain: The role of automation and direct load control
Domestic demand-side response (DSR), if widely adopted, could help make electricity more secure, clean and affordable. However, little is known about consumer demand for different approaches to achieving DSR. This study aimed to gauge the acceptability of a range of DSR tariffs, and explore factors affecting it. An online between-subjects survey experiment was deployed to a representative sample of bill payers in Great Britain (N = 2002), testing…
