 (1) For paragraph 106(1)(a) of the Act, this determination applies to an offsets project that satisfies the following:

 (a) the project involves targeting treatment to small energy users within a population;

 (b) the project involves using a control group within the population to test whether, and by how much, emissions of greenhouse gas have been reduced in a treatment group within the population;

 (c) each good or service in the treatment could reasonably be expected to result in eligible carbon abatement.

Note: Treatment may involve directly providing goods or services, or may involve promoting or providing information to encourage small energy users to take up particular goods or services: see section 7. The treatment offered may vary between sites in a population.
