Coalition and Greens M-Ps are pressuring the federal government to act on power prices to counter skyrocketing energy bills for households and businesses.
The Greens will seek to introduce a bill setting up a commission of inquiry into power prices when parliament returns.
Federal Greens spokesman Adam Bandt says re-regulating electricity prices and generating more power from renewable energy will help tackle the issue.
Mr Bandt has told Sky News, an inquiry is long overdue.
