Capstone Receives 5.5 MW Order To Upgrade Two Sports Centers In Russia

(RTTNews) - Capstone Turbine Corp. (CPST), a clean technology manufacturer of microturbine energy systems, Monday said it recently received a 5.5 MW order to upgrade two sports centers in Russia.

BPC Engineering, Capstone's distributor in Russia, secured the order.

Following the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, sports complexes throughout Russia began analyzing the effectiveness of their facilities to reduce operational expenditures.

The Sochi Sports Center is the largest in southern Russia and serves as a training base for national and club teams.

The Kislovodsk Sports Center is situated 1,240 meters above sea level and serves as a high altitude training complex for Russian athletes.

Both Sochi and Kislovodsk conducted an economic analysis of their operations to identify cost saving opportunities, and chose Capstone microturbines as their preferred solution for power generation and energy efficiency.

Kislovodsk Sports Center and Sochi Sports Center will utilize a combination of C1000s and C65 Capstone microturbines operating in a combined heat and power mode.

CPST, which closed at $1.23 on Friday, added 2.4 percent in pre-market activity.
