You could generate the output meter for end-use energy, then post-process the meter data to divide by the reporting frequency to get the end-use demand. For example, if your output meter was 1,000 kWh and it was reported every 15 minutes (0.25 hours) to match your simulation timestep, then the demand would be
$$ 1,000 kWh / 0.25 h = 4,000 kW $$
