Please explain how the ACP will ensure that it does not claim a benefit for the same energy savings from the RESA identified in section 1.1 above and the Corresponding Scheme identified in section 1.2 above:

[1]Corresponding Scheme is defined in the Accreditation Notice to mean a scheme or arrangement with similar objectives to the NSW Energy Savings Scheme.
