Capstone's Shipped Fleet to Mexico Stands in Excess of 68 Megawatts.
VAN NUYS, CA / ACCESSWIRE / September 29, 2021 / Capstone Green Energy Corporation (www.CapstoneGreenEnergy.com) (NASDAQ:CGRN), a global leader in carbon reduction and on-site resilient green energy solutions, announced today that it has secured an order from DTC Ecoenergía (www.dtc.mx), Capstone's exclusive distributor for Mexico, for a 5-bay C800 Signature Series microturbine system.
"The demand for high-efficiency cogeneration in Mexico is rapidly growing, due in part to the increase in energy demand and the tightening of environmental policies," said Alejandro Muñoz, President of DTC Ecoenergía. "The solution offered by DTC through Capstone Green Energy has had an positive reception by the Mexican market, due to its efficiency in reducing polluting emissions, as well as its performance in reducing energy costs. All this translates to environmental and economic savings for users, while obtaining high-quality power and supply reliability." He added, "We save the environment and our customer's pockets."
The agreement increases Capstone's shipped fleet to Mexico to over 68 Megawatts (MW), of which 58 percent of DTC's installed fleet is covered under a service contract, and reflects a growing need for reliable, cost-effective energy generation in the country. According to Mexico's National Electrical System Development Program (Programa de Desarrollo del Sistema Eléctrico Nacional or PRODESEN), Mexico's total generation capacity as of April 2021 reached 89,479 MW. This represented an increase of 7.6 percent over 2020. Of that amount, a total of 35.5 percent was from clean energy sources (renewable and non-renewable, such as nuclear and efficient cogeneration). Looking ahead, the International Energy Agency predicts that Mexico's population will grow to over 150 million by 2050, predictably increasing energy demand, particularly in the industrial and commercial sectors, that accounts for 72 percent of overall electricity demand.
One of the core challenges faced by the manufacturing industry is the need for highly reliable energy solutions that not only reduce operational costs and increase reliability but also support sustainability goals. Capstone's scalable on-site energy efficiency systems are engineered to meet the large electrical and thermal demand requirements of industrial manufacturers, delivering energy independence with higher operational efficiency than the local utility grid. A Combined Heat & Power (CHP) system supported by a five-bay Capstone C800S package is designed to provide both 24/7 reliable and continuous electrical power and thermal energy for processes and operations.
Utilizing the heat by-product from a microturbine allows facilities to reduce emissions and save added costs that would otherwise be required to produce heat or steam in a separate unit. While traditional electricity from the grid with coal and gas-fired plants produces power at
"This is an important inflection point for energy companies like Capstone Green Energy that can provide innovative, reliable, distributed power solutions," said Darren Jamison, President and Chief Executive Officer of Capstone Green Energy. "DTC has been a key partner for Capstone in offering their customers our highly reliable, low-emission technology that not only supports their environmental goals but also helps lower their energy costs while ensuring minimal downtime and production losses," concluded Mr. Jamison.
