In January 2016 Davey was appointed as a part-time consultant to [[MHP Communications]], the public relations and lobbying firm representing [[EDF Energy]].<ref name=":0" /> Davey was criticised by [[Pundit|press commentators]] for the potential conflict of interest between his previous role as Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change and his role at MHP.
