Rotterdam+

"Rotterdam+" is the name of the formula for determining the wholesale market price for electricity, which was approved by the NEURC in March 2016. The cost of coal in coal-fired power generation was calculated using the formula "the cost of coal in the port of Rotterdam + the cost of its delivery to Ukraine". Due to the formula, Rinat Akhmetov's DTEK and "Centrenergo" began to sell electricity at a higher price. The formula was cancelled on 1 July 2020 after Ukraine switched to a new electricity market.
