23 Offering goods or services to control group that would usually be offered
The project proponent for the project must not withhold, or cause to be withheld, goods or services from sites in the control group in a population in the project if:
(a) the goods or services relate to supplying energy; and
(b) the goods or services would usually be provided by the project proponent as part of usual business practices of supplying energy; and
(b) the goods or services are withheld:
(i) from 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 from which sites the goods or services are withheld is different for the control group than the treatment group.
Example: Not providing a leaflet on energy efficiency that the project proponent usually provides as part of usual business practices.
