BT Connecting Energies GmbH, Capstone's exclusive distributor for Italy, signed a new Factory Protection Plan (FPP) long-term service contract for a Capstone C600 Signature Series microturbine (C600S) installed in a food production facility at Medesano, Northern Italy. The C600S runs grid-connected using clean natural gas, and the co-generation application is the factory's prime energy source using power and steam for cooking cured meats, making this customer more competitive in their local market. Using Capstone technology, this customer is able to realize cost savings exceeding €300K per year and reduce CO2 emissions an estimated 938 tons per year.
