Or, more exactly, by separating electricity production and management of the distribution network, the author is prepared to allow states to manage all the areas that require a great deal of investment and offer very little profit, on condition that they hand the profitable areas over to the private sector.
For at være mere præcis skelnes der mellem elproduktion og forvaltning af forsyningsnettet, idet forfatteren er villig til at lade den del af opgaven, som kræver store investeringer og giver minimalt afkast, forblive hos staten, forudsat at de givtige opgaver overdrages til den private sektor.
