14  Choosing populations

 (1) Before the start of the first measurement period for any population in the project, the project proponent for the project must choose one or more populations for the project.

Note: A project may include more than one population.

 (2) All of the sites in a particular population must be either:

 (a) identified sites; or

 (b) sites of a particular type.

Note 1: Identified sites may be identified by reference to their address.

Note 2: An example of a type of site is sites that are household customers of a particular retailer in a particular State. A population may consist of more than one type of site.

 (3) If the project proponent chooses a population that does not consist of a set of identified sites, it must be clear, at all relevant times between when the population is chosen and the end of the crediting period for the project, whether a particular site is or is not part of the population.

 (4) Subject to section 16, the population must remain the same between when the population is chosen and the end of the crediting period for the project.

Note: If the population consists of a set of sites of a particular type, the sites within the population may change as sites become that type of site or cease to be that type of site.

 (5) The project proponent may add a population to the project after the project has started, but the population must be chosen before the first measurement period for that population starts.

 (6) Once a population is chosen, other choices may be made under this Division that relate to the population.
