Capstone Green Energy to Deliver Scalable 2MW Microturbine System for Government-Backed Power Station in Remote Oceania Community
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Capstone Green Energy Holdings, Inc. (the "Company' or 'Capstone') (PINK: CGEH) and Capstone Green Energy, LLC., announced that its Australian distributor, Optimal Group, has been selected as the EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) contractor for a remote community power generation project in the Oceania region. The project will deploy two Capstone C1000S Signature Series microturbines in a scalable configuration to deliver an initial 2 megawatts (MW) of reliable, low-emission power to an isolated community. This system is designed for expansion, with the ability to scale up to 5MW of power. These solutions, which are renewable fuel-ready, integrate seamlessly with other renewable energy systems as well. Commissioning of the initial 2MW installation is targeted for November 2025. The power station will be located near a natural gas fuel conditioning plant for conversion into LPG that will serve the Asia Pacific region. The project will off-take a portion of the natural gas from this process for the Capstone microturbines. The power generated by this facility will be exported to the local grid, meeting the community's current energy demand of 2MW. As additional residents and businesses connect to the grid over the coming years, the station's capacity is expected to scale up to 5MW. 'Being able to serve the needs of remote, underserved communities is especially meaningful for us,' said Vince Canino, President and CEO of Capstone Green Energy. 'Our ability to operate on alternate fuels in such isolated locations reinforces Capstone's original design philosophy of providing compact and mobile power solutions – visionary thinking that was introduced by Capstone's founders, James Noe and Robin McKay, almost 40 years ago. Our long-standing company culture of daring greatly and iterating towards success is why Capstone's microturbines can provide a much lower carbon footprint on a sustainable basis compared to diesel generators, and we are able to do so while offering unmatched reliability and availability. Even in the most challenging environments, we are able to provide a very attractive total cost of electricity.' Capstone's modular microturbine design allows the system to easily scale with growing demand, ideal for evolving community needs. With a single-shaft design as the only moving part, plus air bearings that eliminate the need for lubricating oils and coolants, Capstone microturbines require minimal maintenance. This not only creates some of the highest availability factors in the industry, but it also leads to significant cost savings—an essential benefit for any project in remote locations. This project will also transition the region away from reliance on diesel for power generation. By utilizing refined natural gas instead of diesel, the project will reduce NOx, CO2, and VOC emissions. It will also eliminate particulate matter (PM2.5) emissions all together. Additional benefits that contributed to the selection of Capstone's technology include its quieter operation. Because our microturbines run on a cushion of air, noise is significantly less than that of reciprocating engines which run at substantially higher decibel levels. 'This is yet another project that showcases our commitment to transitioning businesses and communities away from the pollution and messiness of diesel generation. This power station will provide a reliable source of electricity to the local community and significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Energy security will also be enhanced via the use of locally produced gaseous fuel,' said Craig Dugan, CEO of Optimal Group. 'Optimal's territory includes some of the most remote and challenging locations globally. Leveraging Capstone's technological flexibility allows us to deliver intelligently clean solutions at a lower total cost of ownership, with high availability and reliability. These solutions, which are renewable fuel-ready, integrate seamlessly with other renewable energy systems as well. We not only can make an impact today, but we have also designed in the ability to be future proof.'

City of Janesville Expands Commitment to Sustainability with New Capstone Green Energy Microturbines
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Capstone Green Energy Holdings, Inc. (the "Company' or 'Capstone') (PINK: CGEH) and Capstone Green Energy, LLC., announced that Vergent Power, Capstone's distributor for the Upper Midwest, New England, and Eastern Canada, has secured a follow-on order for the City of Janesville, Wisconsin, as they enhance their wastewater treatment facility with new Capstone microturbines. A long-time customer, the City of Janesville has been running Capstone microturbines since 2010 and recently purchased two additional C65 microturbines, one C200S microturbine, and a Vergent controller. 'Our facility is operating a new microturbine at a fraction of the cost,' said David Botts, P.E., Utility Director for the City of Janesville. Two C65 microturbines from the original 2010 installation are still in operation. The follow-on project includes the commissioning of a C200 microturbine in November 2024, as well as the recent commissioning of two C65 microturbines in April 2025. These follow-on orders increase the facility's total on-site generation capacity to 460 kW. The decision to expand their Capstone microturbine system was driven by Janesville's positive experience with the reliability and performance of Capstone's technology. The availability of substantial financial incentives, including the federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) and a Department of Energy (DOE) ITAC grant, which covered 90% of project costs, helped to further reinforce the City's commitment to upgrading its energy infrastructure using Capstone solutions. 'Our facility is operating a new microturbine at a fraction of the cost,' said David Botts, P.E., Utility Director for the City of Janesville. 'Vergent has been excellent at handling the upgrade for us, with minimal involvement from our team. Having access to so many external funding programs allows us the ability to lower our carbon footprint on a sustainable basis for our community. The process could not have been more seamless. All wastewater treatment facilities should explore similar opportunities to improve their efficiency, all while reducing costs.' The new microturbines will operate in a combined heat and power (CHP) application, utilizing digester gas as the fuel. The system will supply electricity to support wastewater facility operations. The waste heat from the microturbines is captured and converted into useful thermal energy for the facility's anaerobic digesters. This efficient and sustainable approach reduces greenhouse gas emissions while significantly lowering operational costs. 'Capstone is honored to continue our collaborative, long-standing relationship with the City of Janesville,' said Vince Canino, President and CEO of Capstone Green Energy. 'This project demonstrates the repeatable business model that our Microturbine CHP systems can provide. Our ability to run reliably on digester gas is a great example of recycling a waste stream into a set of useful products that help reduce costs and improve the environment. It is truly exciting to provide enhanced sustainability solutions for municipal facilities like the City of Janesville. This is an excellent model of how wastewater treatment plants can take advantage of their waste streams by leveraging innovative energy solutions that benefit their communities.' Capstone's advanced microturbine technology, coupled with Vergent's expertise in project development and management, allows the City of Janesville to continue its leadership in adopting energy-efficient, clean technology that benefits both the environment and its taxpayers.
