<p><span class="em">H1-Fuel for Lighting</span>
<br />The proportion of households with access to electricity will allow planners to identify areas where community lighting needs to be provided. Data on types of fuel can be analyzed to forecast future demands for various sources of energy, hence, help planning for power installations.</p>

<p>Ask the respondent, "What type of fuel does this household use for lighting?" Write "X" in the box opposite the category which corresponds to the fuel used by the household for its lighting facility. If the household is using electricity, mark the box for this item even if it is not used most of the time. If two or more types of fuel for lighting are used, except electricity (for instance, kerosene and oil, oil and candle, and other combinations), report the type of fuel used most of the time for lighting. Mark the box of the category corresponding to the type of lighting used more often than the other. The choices for types of fuel used for lighting are as follows:</p>
<div class="i1">[] 1. Electricity<br />[] 2. Kerosene (gaas)<br />[] 3. Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)<br />[] 4. Oil (vegetable, animal, and others)<br />[] 5. Others, specify<br />[] 0. None</div><p>If the household uses a generator, report the fuel being used to run the generator.
