[John Ralls]

That’s not what Murugan demanded, a special set of accounts that balance separately from the “real” accounts.

This entity was credited with income like utility bills paid, tax credits, sales of SRECs, etc. It was charged expenses like interest on the BLOC, portion of property insurance premium, income tax on sale of SRECs, etc. When it had accumulated "profits" these used to make principle payments on th BLOC. When the balance of the BLOC down to zero, paid off.  It is now accumulating its repair/replacement fund.
