Orsted Faces Fresh Exit Calls Ahead of Denmark’s Election

Orsted A/S is again becoming a hot political topic in Denmark, with several parties calling on the government to sell its stake in the wind energy company after the upcoming election, according to local media.

Four parties on Denmark’s political right want an exit plan for the state’s 50.1% ownership stake after the March 24 parliament vote, Finans reported on Tuesday. A fifth party, the Liberals which is part of the government coalition, said it won’t oppose the idea. Between them, the five parties control about 40% of the current seats in parliament.
