Capstone Green Energy Corporation (NASDAQ:CGRN) Signs 10-Year Service Contract for Large Contract Manufacturer in Mexico

VAN NUYS, CA / ACCESSWIRE / May 5, 2021 / Capstone Green Energy Corporation (www.CapstoneGreenEnergy.com) (NASDAQ:CGRN), formerly Capstone Turbine Corporation (www.capstoneturbine.com) (NASDAQ: CPST) ("Capstone" or the "Company"), announced today that DTC Ecoenergia (www.dtc.mx), a Capstone distributor for Mexico, signed a new 10-year Factory Protection Plan (FPP) service contract for a 1-megawatt (MW) Capstone C1000 Signature Series microturbine (C1000S) installed in Mexico.

Commissioned in February 2020, the C1000S is owned and operated by a large international contract manufacturing company in Mexico. The system operates 24x7 in grid connect and provides approximately 63% of the plant's electricity demand. It is also configured as a Dual Mode system with Capstone's unique Seamless Transfer option. Seamless Transfer allows the system to quickly transition back and forth between grid-connected and stand-alone (island) operation, thereby nullifying any impact to production in the event of a grid outage. This capability is a critical customer requirement due to the poor reliability of the local utility.

The exhaust heat from the C1000S is captured and fed through an absorption chiller producing 400 refrigeration tons of cooling. This highly efficient trigeneration system (CCHP) has also enabled the factory to reduce its CO2 emissions by approximately 46%. In its first year of operation, the Capstone C1000S has maintained >96% availability with a target of 99% in the upcoming year.

The large international contract manufacturing company opted for Capstone's parts-only FPP contract, which will provide fixed scheduled and unscheduled spare parts costs for the next 10 years, providing protection from future parts price increases associated with replacement spare parts, commodity prices, and import tariffs.

"With this long-term maintenance contract at a global contract manufacturer, DTC now has a 24-megawatt fleet under Capstone long-term service contracts, with potential additional new contracts in the pipeline," stated Jeff Foster, Capstone's Senior Vice President of Customer Service and Product Development. "This makes DTC's fleet our fourth-largest FPP service contract fleet globally and the largest FPP fleet in Latin America," concluded Mr. Foster.

"Long-term service agreements like this highlight the robust, recurring revenue business model enabled by Capstone's Energy as a Service (EaaS) offering, which is anchored by our long-term FPP service contracts, and are serviced by our high-quality global distributors like DTC Ecoenergia," stated Darren Jamison, President and Chief Executive Officer of Capstone Green Energy Corporation. "Additionally, the flexibility our microturbines can provide as a part of a broader on-site energy conversion project shows the value of Capstone Green Energy Solutions," concluded Mr. Jamison.
