ABSTRACT = {Energy services markets are actively developing around the world, but
their growth rates need to be accelerated in order to help the world meet energy
policy goals. One barrier to energy services markets is confusion created from different terminology used in different parts of the world. In this context, various
definitions of the term “energy services” have been analyzed in this paper and
it has been recommended to distinguish between “energy services” and
“energy-related services”. The structural and functional features of the energy services market conceptual design and its implementation models, as well as the use
of energy service companies (ESCOs) concept has been also investigated. We
hope that this standardization will clarify business activity as well as improve
the ability for investors and stakeholders to further expand the market.},
