22 Offering goods or services to cause higher energy consumption at sites in control group
The project proponent for the project must not offer, or cause to be offered, goods or services to sites in the control group in a population in the project if:
(a) offering the goods or services is likely to result in higher consumption of natural gas, or electricity from an electricity grid, at sites in the control group than would otherwise have occurred; and
(b) the goods or services are offered:
(i) to a greater proportion of the control group than the treatment group in the population; or
(ii) in equal proportion to the control group and the treatment group in the population, but the basis for choosing which sites receive the offer is different for the control group than the treatment group.
Example: Promoting to sites in the control group the installation of energy‑consuming equipment that may increase consumption of natural gas, or electricity from an electricity grid, at those sites.
