Angus Taylor to seek states' support for emissions reduction fund overhaul

Long delayed meeting of federal and state energy ministers to discuss the $2.55bn ERF, now rebadged the Climate Solutions Fund

Angus Taylor has scheduled a discussion with state and territory energy ministers about the planned overhaul of the Morrison government's emissions reduction fund, a move following the government's decision to quietly appoint an expert panel to come up with new ways to cut greenhouse gas emissions.

According to the draft agenda for Friday's Coag energy council meeting, obtained by Guardian Australia, the commonwealth has scheduled a discussion about the $2.55bn ERF, now rebadged the Climate Solutions Fund, at the long delayed meeting of federal and state energy ministers.
