Interviewer instructions

<span class="em">10. Electricity</span>
<br />This question distinguishes dwellings based on whether they have or not electricity. Consider that a dwelling has electricity if there is at least one lightbulb that lights regularly, though:</p>
<div class="i1">[] Upon the interview there is a short or blackout failure;<br />[] They do not pay for the service or it is temporarily suspended;<br />[] The dwelling does not have a light meter.</div><p>It does not matter the source from which the electricity comes, either of a particular plant, a solar panel, from the CFE or any other source. If the answer is "no", go to question 12 "Piped water"; otherwise go to question 11 "Lightbulbs".
