upon an effort to reduce energy demand from existing buildings so as  to

order to assist residents and businesses in the town of Oyster Bay  make
energy  efficiency  improvements  more  affordable  and  to  promote the

greenhouse gas emissions and make energy efficiency and renewable energy
improvements  more  affordable by establishing a sustainable energy loan
program to assist homeowners and businesses within the  town  of  Oyster
Bay  in  the  installation  of  distributed  generation renewable energy
sources or energy efficiency improvements. Such loans to be  offered  by
such  town  shall  be  repaid  over  a  period of time through an annual
assessment on the real property of the borrower.
  S 2. Definitions. For the  purposes  of  this  act:  (a)  "Distributed
generation"  shall  mean  the generation of energy close to the point of
