The Department for Energy and Climate Change building in Whitehall.
Even if "change ain't good", to paraphrase the classics, the Department for Energy and Climate Change has appointed a brand new permanent secretary, enters Mr. Stephen Lovegrove, ladies and gentlemen.
Mr. Lovegrove served until now as the Chief Executive of the Shareholder Executive, and now he will replaced the former DECC permanent secretary, Moria Wallace, who left the building in October 2012.
Initially, Mr. David Kennedy, the current Chief Executive of the Committee on Climate Change was appointed for the job, but the Prime Minister intervened, this move created some controversy as the Prime Minister blocked the appointment of Mr. Kennedy, as the new permanent secretary at the Department of Energy and Climate Change.
Mr. Kennedy's appointment as the new permanent secretary at DECC was strongly supported by senior civil servants and some of the ministers, but the Prime Minister, Mr. Cameron had other ideas in mind, he stated that the permanent secretary at DECC must be a person with serious corporate experience in his resume.
Exits Mr. Kennedy, enters Lovegrove, who was the head of the European media team of Deutsche Bank for ten years in a row (Deutsche Bank is one of the biggest players in the financial market today), before joining the Shareholder Executive position.
He also had a position as a board member of the The London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games in the summer of 2012.
Mr. Ed Davey made the following remark about the appointment of Mr. Lovegrove as the new permanent secretary at the Department for Energy and Climate Change:
“We need to attract billions in private sector investment to build new power stations and to upgrade the energy efficiency of the nation’s homes. Stephen and I worked together for nearly two years when I was a Minister at the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, not least on the reform of Royal Mail, so I know he will be a huge asset to DECC.”
