WHERE THE STATES STAND ON THE NATIONAL ENERGY GUARANTEE
ACT
Greens leader and Climate Change Minister Shane Rattenbury will not sign on to the guarantee and will use the meeting to address five key concerns, including a "weak" emissions reduction target.
NSW
Energy Minister Don Harwin says a national plan will give certainty to the energy industry and he will encourage state counterparts to get on board.
Queensland
Energy Minister Anthony Lynham is still considering the detail but remains committed to Queensland's target of 50 per cent renewable energy by 2030.
South Australia
With the Liberal party ousting the Labor state government, support for the policy is now more likely. New Energy Minister Dan van Holst Pellekaan says he is open to supporting the NEG.
Tasmania
The Liberal government went to the polls in March proposing to sever links with the National Electricity Market, under which the NEG operates, in favour of heavy investment in renewables and storage. If that happens, only the national emissions reduction target aspect of the guarantee will apply.
Victoria
Energy Minister Lily D'Ambrosio says they will not sign up to the NEG sight unseen and will use the meeting to seek guarantees their existing renewable energy plans and climate change policies will be honoured.
Western Australia and Northern Territory
Neither WA nor the NT is part of the National Electricity Market under which the NEG will operate so they will not be affected by the plan. However, their emissions will count toward Australia's overall total. WA Energy Minister Ben Wyatt has questioned what the plan is to reduce agriculture, industry and transport emissions if the electricity sector is aiming for a reduction of only 26 per cent.
