Victoria is refusing to sign up to the National Energy Guarantee until Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull can give assurances that his entire caucus is locked in behind the scheme.

| Energy and Environment Minister Lily D'Ambrosio is giving the PM an ultimatum on energy policy. |
The ultimatum from the Andrews government is the latest obstacle before the Turnbull government as it seeks to end 15 years of political inertia on climate policy and push through an energy blueprint that has been attacked as too timid by renewables advocates and too green by internal critics.
Victoria is one of three Labor-governed states and territories yet to agree to sign off on the national energy guarantee because of concerns the scheme’s modest emissions reduction target could kill off the boom in renewable energy generation.
