“Why is there still no case on Amsterdam+?” — BP reacted to the NABU report on the investigation of the Rotterdam + case
The damage from the Amsterdam + gas pricing formula is much greater, writes ZN.
Oleksiy Kucherenko, First Deputy Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Committee on Energy, Housing and Communal Services, asked NABU when a case would be initiated under the Amsterdam+ formula, which caused even more losses to gas consumers than the price of coal under the Rotterdam+ formula, and operates to this day.
About this people’s deputy wrote in the comments to the report of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau on the completion of the Rotterdam + case, as a result of which non-existent costs were included in the price of coal, and consumers overpaid UAH 39 billion.
“I will allow myself one important question – the pricing scheme in Naftogaz is the same formula “Amsterdam +”. Why is there still no case on Naftogaz, Groysman with the government that claimed this, Kobolev, Vitrenko and others?! The damage from this scheme is much greater by the way – primarily for the budget and for consumers! Where is the consistency and integrity, dear investigators?!” the deputy asked.
Recall that the Amsterdam+ gas pricing formula provides for the cost of delivering the resource from the hub in the Netherlands to the gas price.
At the same time, according to some estimates, the amount of gas at the price of “Amsterdam +” in the tariff is less than 5%. Although the calculation according to the Amsterdam+ formula applies to all gas sold in Ukraine.
On January 16, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) announced the completion of the investigation into the second episode in the Rotterdam+ case. In this episode, 15 people are suspected of being involved in the introduction of the Rotterdam + formula, according to which electricity consumers illegally overpaid more than UAH 20 billion in 2018-2019.
In general, due to the introduced formula “Rotterdam +” during 2016-2019, end consumers overpaid more than 39 billion UAH.
