New UK Energy Secretary Ed Davey
Davey, formerly a minister in the UK's Business Department, was promoted into the role of energy supremo after Huhne quit the government when criminal charges were brought against him.
Davey's political boss, Liberal Democrat party leader Nick Clegg, claims the new Energy Secretary has a "lifelong commitment" to the environment and green issues.
The 46-year-old has a background in finance and is seen as being on the right wing of the Liberal Democrats, the minority party in the UK's ruling coalition.
