grand gulf lease obligations in december 1988 , in two separate but substantially identical transactions , system energy sold and leased back undivided ownership interests in grand gulf for the aggregate sum of $ 500 million . the interests represent approximately 11.5% ( 11.5 % ) of grand gulf . the leases expire in 2015 . under certain circumstances , system entergy may repurchase the leased interests prior to the end of the term of the leases . at the end of the lease terms , system energy has the option to repurchase the leased interests in grand gulf at fair market value or to renew the leases for either fair market value or , under certain conditions , a fixed rate . in may 2004 , system energy caused the grand gulf lessors to refinance the outstanding bonds that they had issued to finance the purchase of their undivided interest in grand gulf . the refinancing is at a lower interest rate , and system energy's lease payments have been reduced to reflect the lower interest costs . system energy is required to report the sale-leaseback as a financing transaction in its financial statements . for financial reporting purposes , system energy expenses the interest portion of the lease obligation and the plant depreciation . however , operating revenues include the recovery of the lease payments because the transactions are accounted for as a sale and leaseback for ratemaking purposes . consistent with a recommendation contained in a ferc audit report , system energy initially recorded as a net regulatory asset the difference between the recovery of the lease payments and the amounts expensed for interest and depreciation and continues to record this difference as a regulatory asset or liability on an ongoing basis , resulting in a zero net balance for the regulatory asset at the end of the lease term . the amount of this net regulatory asset was $ 19.2 million and $ 36.6 million as of december 31 , 2008 and 2007 , respectively. .
