The European sales and service office of Capstone Turbine Corp. (Chatsworth, CA), a microturbine power systems manufacturer, reported another follow-on order from its distributor in Russia amounting to a total of 1.7 MW of both 60 kW and 30 kW microturbine products. Capstone’s distributor in Russia, BPC Energy, ordered the systems, which will be deployed at four different sites, including a shopping center and telecommunications facilities.
In April 2005, BPC Energy ordered approximately 2.3 MW of 60 kW Capstone MicroTurbine® energy systems. A half-megawatt of those systems will be used to provide power and heat at a hotel in Moscow, and 1.8 MW of C60s will generate power and heat at a ski resort near St. Petersburg.
"Our research identified Russia as a potentially good market and today we are seeing that become reality with repeatable business opportunities for our products," stated Capstone Vice President of Sales and Service Tony Hynes. "These opportunities are coming to fruition as we gain momentum in that market, thanks to the reliability and effectiveness demonstrated by the Capstone systems expertly deployed across Russia by our distributor BPC Energy."
