¹ Investor name represents ultimate parent of subsidiary financing the project.
² Investor right on the certain date, upon giving us advance written notice, to sell the membership interests to us or resign or withdraw from the investment partnership.
³Non-cash contributions consisted of warrants that were issued by us to respective lenders to each PPA Entity, as required by such entity’s credit agreements. The corresponding values are amortized using the effective interest method over the debt term.

The noncontrolling interests in PPA IIIa are redeemable as a result of the put option held by the Equity Investors as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the carrying value of redeemable noncontrolling interests of $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, exceeded the maximum redemption value.

PPA Entities’ Aggregate Assets and Liabilities

Generally, Operating Company assets can be used to settle only the Operating Company obligations and Operating Company creditors do not have recourse to us. The aggregate carrying values of our VIEs, including PPA IIIa, PPA IV and PPA V, for their assets and liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets, after eliminations of intercompany transactions and balances, were (in thousands):

As of January 1, 2020, the flip date, we are the majority owner shareholder in the PPA IIIa entity receiving 95% of all cash distributions and profits and losses. In PPA IV and PPA V we consolidate as VIEs, we are the minority shareholder. PPA Entities contain debt that is non-recourse to us. The PPA Entities also own Energy Server assets for which we do not have title. Although we will continue to have Power Purchase Agreement Program entities in the future and offer customers the ability to purchase electricity without the purchase of our Energy Servers, we do not intend to be a minority investor in any new Power Purchase Agreement Program entities.

We believe that by presenting assets and liabilities separate from the PPA Entities, we provide a better view of the true operations of our core business. The table below provides detail into the assets and liabilities of Bloom Energy separate from the PPA Entities. The following table shows Bloom Energy's stand-alone, the PPA Entities combined and these consolidated balances as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (in thousands):
