An important claim to think about as inherently related to our own project is the idea of energy services depending on more than just energy (Riniken et al., 2019:20). We can think of the energy services we receive as providing us with comfort, cleanliness, entertainment, and mobility, shaping more than just our residential environment (Riniken et al., 2019:20). In relation to our own project, we can think of these services as wholly dependent on other structures, depending on other meta-services, and being uniquely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The most important idea to reflect upon is Riniken et al.'s assertion meta-services change when the means of achieving them change, which is important to think about in energy transitions and ways in which they leave many energy vulnerable populations behind (2019:20).
