Electricity generators have rebuked the Turnbull government for delaying the introduction of a clean energy target, arguing a target will trigger new investment and bring down power bills.

Mr Turnbull will meet the bosses of some of Australia's biggest power companies in Sydney on Wednesday for a second round of discussions about skyrocketing rising power prices.
At an earlier meeting in August, a deal was struck for millions of Australians to be notified when their discount electricity plans expire, which could save households more than $1000 a year, as well as some other consumer protection measures.
The companies who will attend the next meeting include Energy Australia, Momentum Energy, Simply Energy, Alinta Energy, Origin Energy, AGL, Australian Energy Council and Snowy Hydro.
