Capstone has also announced that with this order it has ‘sold out’ of its planned initial calendar year 2008 production.
The new family of microturbine-based products provides solutions in the 200kW, 600kW, 800kW and 1,000kW range in a single standard sized container. These new products will provide all the low emissions and low maintenance benefits in a compact footprint that will extend the application of Capstone microturbines into the multi-megawatts project size.
Leigh Estus, senior vice president of Capstone’s operations, said: The new ultra clean, light weight, air bearing design is scheduled to commence commercial production in September 2008 with an initial 28 production slots available in calendar 2008 and another 110 slots for 2009. As of today we have firm orders for 42 units with approximately 29 of these orders requiring 2008 delivery dates.
