The purpose of this chapter is to permit municipal electric utilities in Connecticut to join together and form cooperative public corporations for the financing of the construction and acquisition of facilities for the purpose of furnishing efficient, low cost and reliable electric power in their areas of operation. The provisions of this chapter shall be deemed to apply to the acquisition, construction, reconstruction, operation, repair, extension or improvement of such facilities, or the acquisition of any interest therein or of any capacity thereof, by a separate legal entity created by concurrent resolutions of two or more municipal electric utilities as herein provided. It is found and declared that there exists in the state a great and growing need for the furnishing of efficient, low cost and reliable electric power to the residents thereof; that the construction and acquisition of suitable facilities for the furnishing of efficient, low cost and reliable electric power is an important governmental function in which municipal electric utilities should be enabled to act jointly for the purposes of carrying out the provisions of this chapter and therefore the necessity for the provisions of this chapter is hereby declared as a matter of legislative determination to be in the public interest and for the public benefit and good of this state.
