Also in developing countries in Africa some houses would be "connected" to an electricity distribution network (thus having an electric wire from the exterior entering the house), and some would have their individual (per building) source such as a small generator somewhere in the building itself or solar panels on the roof.
And we would like to have a way to distinguish: - those who are connected to a distribution network of electricity - those who use individual power source for the building (generator/windmill/solar panel...) - those who have no electricity at all The original ideau was just that simple. And it's all verifiable on the ground with a simple survey (and we will do it). But it's worth debating about other possible details related while we're at it, omitting what's becoming complicated due to varying conditions across the countries.
