It must be emphasized that these criteria are highly site-specific. This is true not only
for each characteristic, since daily energy use will vary from village to village, but also
for the relative importance of each criterion. In some locations, the time of day may
override all other considerations for certain tasks (cooking, for example), while in other
places the key consideration may be the spatial distribution (communal cooking versus
individual home units). Such priorities can be determined only by direct consultation
with the energy consumers. Nonetheless, the overall criteria includes all the char-
acteristics reported by field researchers that affect the success of the introduction of a
new technology into a rural village setting.18
