It is in the public interest and it is the policy of the state to encourage its municipalities to pursue their independent development of electric power and the financing of small scale power facilities for the production of electric power and to assist them by making funds available at reduced interest costs for orderly financing of such facilities, particularly for those municipalities not otherwise readily able to borrow for such purposes at reasonable rates of interest. It is further declared that credit and municipal bond market conditions require the exercise of the powers of the state in the interest of its municipalities to further and implement such policies by authorizing the New Hampshire municipal bond bank, established under RSA 35-A, to create a separate division having full powers to borrow money and to issue its bonds and notes to make funds available at reduced rates and on more favorable terms for borrowing by such municipalities through the purchase by such division of the municipal small scale power facility bonds and notes of such municipalities in fully marketable form and by granting broad powers to such division to accomplish and to carry out these policies of the state which are in the public interest of the state and of its taxpayers and residents.
