'No plans' to cut renewable energy target, Josh Frydenberg says

Environment minister says RET adds $63 a year to household power bills but is a 'far cry from the 50% target Bill Shorten is proposing'

The Turnbull government has "no plans" to change the Renewable Energy Target, environment minister Josh Frydenberg has said in response to reports conservative Coalition MPs want the target dropped.

In an interview on Radio National Frydenberg said the RET was "balanced" but "not cost free" - warning it added $63 a year to household power bills and attacking Labor for its 50% target on renewables.
