What’s the point of privatising Dong Energy? Is it because Denmark can’t afford to own and maintain our own energy supply and has to ask other countries to help?

Or is it because we think someone else can do it better than us.

Or do we feel that an IPO will result in the company developing a more professional management?

If that’s the case, then it is only natural to expect that there will be less political involvement in the corporate decision making process. But it also means that Denmark’s national interests will not be considered.
