Capstone Sells Microturbines to Power Remote Marcellus Compressors

MDN has highlighted Capstone Turbine Corporation, a California company that manufactures small electric-generating plants that run on natural gas, several times in the past (see our Capstone stories here). Capstone, at some point, renamed itself. The company is now called Capstone Green Energy Corporation. (It's practically a requirement that businesses in California must insert the word "green" into their names or risk being banned from the state.) Capstone announced it has secured an "follow-on" order for two C200S Microturbines from "a leading oil and gas producer." The two microturbines will power two different compressor stations where there is no nearby electric line for power. The microturbines create electricity by using gas from the pipeline itself.
