Testimonials

David Joiner of Pumps and Service, in Farmington, New Mexico - Many thanks to all who helped on getting the Ramon Station up and running. I spoke to the customer and things are working very well. The Capstone MicroTurbines are providing the power for a booster station on an oil pipeline. The customer is currently running 11 Capstone MicroTurbines with the rest in reserve. They are able to look at the location system from the other locations so they are very happy with the APS (Advanced Power Server). They have been filling the 30,000 Gallon Propane tank every 5 days. Because of running the microturbines, they hope to get it to the planned 10-14 day filling schedule saving them a bundle in propane and delivery charges.

Pablo Escalante, End User and Authorized Service Provider - In qualification from 1 to 10, the qualification is 9: Clean and reliable energy, that has been accepted like a serious alternative for production of electrical energy at the Transredes facilities in Bolivia. This is what makes this technology a solid candidate to replace the traditional energy production with generators and establishes itself like a traditional product for the coming projects. We have a lot of inquiries from other petroleum companies about the installation of these products, which makes me believe that there is a strong interest in microturbines and in how they perform in the field and how do they affect productivity and the environment.

Frank Vitone, HVAC Supervisor, LA Pierce College - In 2002, LA Pierce College added six 60 kW Capstone MicroTurbines next to their existing Central Plant Building to facilitate energy savings, and dependable and clean power as the power needs of the campus increased. A second cogeneration system was also commissioned in the Men's Gym that provides heat to the outside swimming pool by using waste heat from four 30 kW Capstone MicroTurbines. "Since that time, we have had a full service agreement with Capstone every year", said Frank Vitone, HVAC Supervisor at LA Pierce College. "I have found this service to be extremely valuable in keeping up with advanced technologies, technical support and remedial and scheduled maintenance. The quick response and skilled technicians that Capstone has provided has made downtime almost a thing of the past. I look forward to working with the friendly staff at Capstone as Pierce College installs additional power generating system in the future", added Vitone.

City of Greenfield - The City of Greenfield uses four 60 kW Stand Alone MicroTurbines to maintain the complete water system for the city; from pumping out of the ground, to maintaining pressure and supply to their customers. Why are the microturbines used in stand alone? In the first two weeks of May alone, the local utility had 16 power outages - caused not only by some higher than normal winds, but also by two separate car accidents that required replacement of power poles to restore the electrical utility. The microturbines continually supplied water while the local electrical power was down. The city loves the microturbines and their reliability. They indicated to Capstone's Sr. Field Service Technician, Kurt Mills, that they are adding an additional 1.5 million gallon water storage tank and considering additional microturbines to maintain the supply and pressure at the new tank site.

John Fox, Product Manager, UTC Power - John Fox, Product Manager for UTC Power, a United Technologies Corp. (NYSE:UTX) company, reports that UTC Power's fleet of combined cooling, heating and power systems utilizing Capstone MicroTurbines is performing at an MTBF above 10,000 hours. "We are pleased with the quality and reliability of our PureComfort(R) systems in the field," Fox said. "We're gaining a lot of experience in diverse locations and this milestone demonstrates the soundness of the technology." Mr. Fox was quoted in Capstone's press release entitled "Capstone MicroTurbine Fleet Surpasses 15 Million Operating Hours", dated May 2, 2007.
