Capstone Turbine Corporation (www.capstoneturbine.com)

, the world's leading clean-technology manufacturer of microturbine energy systems, today announced that it received orders totaling five megawatts from one of its Mexican distributors. DTC Soluciones Inmobiliarias SA de CV received the orders from industrial customers in Mexico. Each of the systems sold will showcase the efficiency of the Capstone microturbine technology by utilizing the waste exhaust in a combined heat and power (CHP) plant.  The largest of the orders, a 2.6MW project for a combined cooling heating and power (CCHP) plant, will be installed at the manufacturing facility of a global leader in plastic and aluminum closure systems located in northern Mexico. The exhaust from the microturbines will be used to produce both hot and chilled water for the CCHP system. This multinational customer has dozens of plants worldwide that could be candidates for additional microturbine installations. A 1MW project will be installed at a Mexican pharmaceutical manufacturer located in Guadalajara. Since the microturbine is "dual mode," it will provide the Guadalajara plant with power security even when the local power grid goes down.
