All participants may borrow from or lend to the non-state-regulated money pool.

regulated subsidiary money pool or remit funds from other external sources.

Participants receiving a loan under the non-state-regulated subsidiary money pool agreement must repay the principal amount of such loan, together with accrued interest. The rate of interest depends on the composition of internal and external funds in the non-state-regulated subsidiary money pool. Interest revenues and interest charges related to non-state-regulated money pool advances and borrowings were immaterial in 2018, 2019, and 2020.
