On this basis, the formula was called "Rotterdam +".

The NABU initiated a pre-trial investigation of violations in the approval of the formula and the fact of abuse of office by officials of the NCRECU at the request of a number of opposition deputies.

Head of NCRECU Dmitry Vovk, for his part, sent a request to the European Energy Community with a request to audit the activities of the regulator, including the establishment of the calculation methodology for the ORC. Experts for the Vienna office of the Energy Community are involved in the audit.
