Labor has unveiled its own energy plan after internal division on climate within the Coalition killed off the National Energy Guarantee.


The Labor opposition has promised to help 100,000 householders purchase batteries as part of an energy plan that sets up a major conflict with the Coalition on climate and energy policy. 

If elected, it will invest $200 million to subsidise the installation of 100,000 home batteries to store energy from solar panels.
