Federal Coalition MPs raise fresh concerns about NSW clean energy commitment

MPs also urge Scott Morrison to use carryover credits to meet Australia's 2030 target ahead of weekend global climate summit

The federal energy minister, Angus Taylor, will meet with his New South Wales counterpart, Matt Kean, after Scott Morrison raised concerns with Gladys Berejiklian about her government's recently legislated commitment to build 12 gigawatts of clean energy as part of a transition road map.

For the second week in a row, federal Coalition MPs used their regular party room meeting to raise concerns about the NSW agreement, and to insist the Morrison government use carryover credits from the Kyoto period to meet Australia's 2030 target rather than meeting the commitment through practical emissions reduction.
