Britain's newly appointed Energy Minister John Hayes says he has come to the job at a crucial time and has pledged that the country will not be reliant on any single energy technology but on a “balance low-carbon mix.”

Hayes, one of the junior ministers appointed in Prime Minister David Cameron's cabinet reshuffle to replace Charles Hendry as the Secretary of State for Energy, issued his first statement today as he began his new job at the Department of Energy and Climate Change.

The new energy minister said he was proud to have been called to assume the role at a crucial time “... both for our energy security and for tackling climate change.”

Hayes says Britain faces major challenges: “We must not be over-reliant on any one technology, but build a balanced low carbon mix and make the best use of Britain’s domestic energy resources and skilled workforce.”

And he went on: “I am keen to get on and work with businesses to secure the investment we need over the coming decade. And I look forward to working with Parliamentary colleagues to put the Coalition’s forthcoming Energy Bill into law.”

One of his key tests will be to meet with Britain's oil and gas industry, which he will do through the Pilot task force
