The Federal Government’s national energy guarantee is under scrutiny after a draft final report revealed that it will be similar to an emissions intensity scheme. The Coalition’s partyroom had rejected a proposal for an EIS when it was put forward by Energy Minister Josh Frydenberg in 2016. A member of the Energy Security Board has also conceded that the NEG will effectively be an EIS "by stealth" and that it will favour companies which invest in renewable energy. Finance Minister Mathias Cormann says the partyroom had fully endorsed the NEG.
