Capstone Turbine Expects New Cogeneration Promotion by KeySpan Energy to Lead to... 

CHATSWORTH, Calif., Jul 25, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Capstone Turbine Corporation(R) (www.microturbine.com) (CPST, Trade) stated today that KeySpan Energy Delivery has developed with Capstone a marketing promotional mailer for the sale, installation and factory direct service of Capstone MicroTurbine(R) on-site power generation products. "This has the strong possibility to lead to significant additional sales of Capstone MicroTurbines," said John R. Tucker, Capstone's Chief Executive Officer. KeySpan Energy Delivery is a subsidiary company of KeySpan Corporation (KSE, Trade), which is the fifth largest distributor of natural gas in the United States and the largest in the Northeast, operating regulated gas utilities in New York, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire that serve 2.6 million customers.

The KeySpan promotional materials quote Mr. Mike DeFazio, Vice President of Operations for Alpha Plastics in Brooklyn, New York, a KeySpan customer who is benefiting from the advantages of Capstone MicroTurbines, as saying, "Prior to purchasing the Capstone MicroTurbines we were strictly buying electricity off the grid. The folks at Capstone were fantastic and their response time was excellent. The unit is compact, about the size of a large refrigerator, and we're generating about 40% of our electricity from it at present with plans to generate 100%. Our energy cost savings are already in the 30 to 35% range and the equipment requires minimum maintenance. There's also the added benefit of avoiding power interruptions which can be costly to a manufacturing operation."

KeySpan Energy Delivery recently mailed the KeySpan-Capstone sales incentive materials to commercial and industrial natural gas customers in portions of Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island and Long Island. The informational brochure states that KeySpan will provide a "free, no-obligation feasibility study illustrating how natural-gas powered Capstone MicroTurbine distributed generation can lower the customer's energy costs and improve their bottom line."

In the KeySpan-Capstone promotion, KeySpan Energy Delivery is highlighting Capstone MicroTurbine products, which are available in a variety of configurations, that allow the customers to utilize exhaust heat from the turbines for heating, cooling, or a combination of heating and cooling, in addition to electricity generation. Capstone will provide factory direct service contracts for the microturbine installations, which will be sold and serviced by Capstone New York.

KeySpan Energy Delivery has mailed the informational brochure featuring the Capstone MicroTurbine equipment, headlined "Guaranteed Energy Cost Savings," to its commercial and industrial gas customers in the target market area. An electronic copy of the brochure is available on the Capstone website home page at www.microturbine.com.

Mr. Tucker commented, "We are excited about this sales opportunity, and what it can do for both companies. We are delighted the nation's fifth largest natural gas utility has selected Capstone to deliver the benefits of on-site cogeneration to its customers. Our current order backlog of 17.1 megawatts of generating capacity as of July 7, 2005, is greater than our total sales for the prior fiscal year, which ended March 31, 2005. And over two megawatts of this backlog, as we announced June 14, is already scheduled for installation within the KeySpan natural gas distribution area. This existing backlog of orders does not include any of the additional anticipated sales orders from our New York office as a result of this recently announced KeySpan-Capstone joint marketing/sales program." Mr. Tucker further noted, "This sales effort is another major step forward for Capstone in expanding our presence in the marketplace, increasing our traction, and gaining increased customer acceptance."

Any recommendations or advise on this one at the time.  The news looks good but i dont know if the current rise has taken all this into consideration.  Thank you

Capstone Turbine Corp. Files for NYC Dept. of Buildings MEA Approval
Tuesday August 2, 9:01 am ET


BROOKLYN, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 2, 2005--The New York sales and service facility of Capstone Turbine Corporation® (www.microturbine.com; Nasdaq:CPST - News) said today that it has filed with the New York City Department of Buildings (NYCDoB) MEA Division a Materials Equipment Acceptance (MEA) application which will significantly simplify the permitting and installation approval of Capstone-branded microturbines in the five boroughs of New York City.

The NYCDoB confirmed that Capstone has received an interim filing submittal number that will be referenced on all Department of Buildings filings that are necessary to secure contractor work permits for citywide installations of Capstone-branded microturbine equipment.

Over the last twelve months, Capstone has worked diligently with the city to file the necessary MEA documents to make Capstone the first in the industry to standardize its OEM and Applications Engineering Process for New York, the company said. As a result of this effort, Capstone will now provide an MEA submittal filing number with each application to the Building Department. This will allow property owners, architects and engineers to secure the necessary plan approvals from the Department of Buildings so building permits can be filed for installation of Capstone products. In the MEA filing, Capstone has included all of the UL approvals and proper installation methods for its equipment, thereby creating a "standard" installation that the Department of Buildings and any other agency or entity within the city or state will recognize as the manufacturer's approved OEM configuration, the company said.

"We have created a `cookie cutter' concept for the sale and installation of Capstone MicroTurbine®-branded products in the five boroughs of New York City," said Capstone Chief Executive Officer John R. Tucker. "We anticipate that the New York City Department of Buildings will soon require all manufacturers of on-site power generators to have New York City MEA approval before they can sell or install their equipment in the city. Therefore, we have proactively taken this step to insure that our ability to provide equipment to the largest potential distributed generation marketplace in North America is not interrupted.

"Of course, this filing continues to make Capstone MicroTurbine energy solutions more economically advantageous to businesses and public facilities than any other competing product. It also enables more rapid deployment and commissioning through standardized installations, so our New York customers can begin reducing their utility costs and power demand with minimum delay. This is particularly important in light of last week's record high power demand reported by ConEdison and the blackout in Brooklyn last week reported by the New York Times. Combined with the recently announced Capstone MicroTurbine incentive program by KeySpan Energy Delivery, the East Coast's largest natural gas utility, we expect to see continued growth opportunities for Capstone MicroTurbine sales in New York City," Tucker added.

Speaking from Capstone's Brooklyn office, Allen McNair, Capstone's Vice-President of Sales for the Americas, commented, "This offers a huge market advantage for Capstone. Our New York team has been working with the NYCDoB to fulfill all their requirements and make this MEA standard a reality. This filing approval, plus the enthusiastic support of KeySpan Energy Delivery, the ease of our system interconnect with ConEdison, and our pre-approval with the New York State Public Service Commission positions our clean, efficient energy solutions head and shoulders above anything else on the market."

Looking good....
