Capstone Green Energy Corporation continues to grow in the Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS) market with newly secured order for a C1000S microturbine rental package for a leading global oil and gas technology company. The order will be deployed in an Ecuadorean oil field in early April. The 1 MW solution will be installed in a remote oilfield in the Ecuadorean jungle and will replace an existing diesel generator and produce clean and reliable electricity using associated gas directly from the pipeline.

The power generated by the microturbines will provide 100% of the electricity needed to power on-site surface production equipment and the pump station. The oilfield operators selected Capstone's microturbine technology for its high reliability in the field as well as their ability to significantly reduce operational costs and flare emissions. Operators wanted a modular, reliable, and cost-effective solution to replace their high-main maintenance genset.

The microturbines, which have only one moving part and use no lubricants, are a low-main maintenance solution, which is a key benefit given the site's remote location.
