Another dispute on energy policy is brewing as federal parliament resumes and Liberals and Nationals meet for the final two weeks before the winter break.

| Federal environment and energy minister Josh Frydenberg is facing renewed internal pressure over the NEG. |
One of the most outspoken Liberals on energy and climate, backbencher Craig Kelly, says he expects the Coalition party room to discuss the issue on Tuesday to hear the latest on plans for the National Energy Guarantee.
An update on the NEG last Friday offered new details to keep MPs on edge, setting up another chance for conservatives to push back against Energy Minister Josh Frydenberg on the ambition to reduce carbon emissions.
Frydenberg also faces demands from the left that the NEG be amended or replaced to set a bigger ambition to cut emissions and help renewables.
