Business leaders will lobby federal government MPs on Tuesday to urge them to hold their nerve on energy policy in a growing effort to stare down objections from conservatives and Greens that could lead to another impasse on climate change.
BlueScope chief Mark Vasella and BHP Billiton commercial chief Arnoud Balhuizen will warn Coalition MPs against backsliding on the National Energy Guarantee after former prime minister Tony Abbott last week left the door open to crossing the floor on the policy.
BHP, which spent $620 million on electricity across Australia last year, will outline detailed modelling that shows the government plan can bring greater reliability to the electricity grid while meeting emission targets.
