[Tagging] Proposed feature - Voting - electricity

[Lukas Richert]

I would say common sense dictates that not having electricity for some 
minutes 2-3 times a year does not represent a significant probability 
that electricity will be unavailable.

As mentioned in the paper https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tej.2020.106828 
<https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tej.2020.106828>, it seems that there is no 
clear definition of what constitutes reliable electricity access. The 
definition proposed in the linked paper: an electricity source is 
reliable if "a maximum threshold of 12 outages in a typical year for 
SAIFI and 12 hours of power outage per year" is not exceeded. This seems 
reasonable and could be included to define what "significant" means in 
this case.

Further, it might be interesting to allow tagging of reliability in a 
tier system (i.e. intermittent=*?) as described by 
https://www.worldbank.org/content/dam/Worldbank/Topics/Energy%20and%20Extract/Beyond_Connections_Energy_Access_Redefined_Exec_ESMAP_2015.pdf 
but I wouldn't include this in the current proposal.
