The natural gas-fueled microturbines will be installed in an industrial combined heat and power (CHP) application, at each of the four facilities. One facility will receive three C65s while the remaining three facilities will each receive one unit. The clean and green microturbines will provide on-site CHP that is far more efficient and environmentally beneficial than utility power. Along with low-emissions, the C65 features low noise levels, low maintenance costs, a low carbon footprint and industry-leading reliability.
“Capstone is focused on growing our business in Europe as part of our overall strategy of geographic diversification. Germany continues to be a key market and will provide continued growth in our CHP business,” said Darren Jamison, President and Chief Executive Officer of Capstone.
Two of the six microturbines will support the growing needs of an existing customer with past project success. The repeat customer selected Capstone microturbines for its proven ability to provide clean, flexible and reliable performance. They also selected Capstone because of the high levels of customer support from E-Quad, the local Capstone distributor.
“The German market has been challenging while the renewable energy and CHP regulations have been in flux,” said Jim Crouse, Capstone’s Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “E-Quad has been able to secure new business in spite of the regulatory hurdles and has developed a significant pipeline of business that will be secured once the regulations have been finalized.”
