 <WRAP intro>
-A service in the electricity system is a defined, measurable output that keeps the grid running reliably: frequency regulation, voltage control, congestion management, balancing, or the supply of electricity itself. Smart grid transitions reshape which services the system needs, who can provide them, and how they are specified, procured, and compensated, because the concept of service separates function from asset and opens provision to resources that traditional system design never anticipated.

-Defining services rather than mandating technologies opens grid participation to batteries, demand response, and prosumers alongside conventional generation.

 ===== Why this matters =====
-Services are the functional building blocks of electricity system operation. Frequency regulation keeps the system stable in real time. Voltage control maintains power quality across the network. Congestion management prevents overloading of lines and transformers. Each of these functions depends on specific technical capabilities, specific institutional arrangements for procurement and verification, and specific actors with mandates, obligations, or commercial interests.
