* Energy companies will have to guarantee the reliability of their supplies and how they will help meet emissions reduction targets.

* The approach is technology neutral and has no subsides, certificates or tax.

* The Energy Security Board says the scheme will give certainty to investors and therefore encourage investment.

* Power bills will be lower than forecast and lower than under a clean energy target.

* The government will work through the scheme with state governments.
