Capstone Turbine Corporation, the worlds leading clean technology manufacturer of microturbine energy systems, announced that it has secured a significant Factory Protection Plan (FPP) aftermarket long-term service contract renewal from a key European customer. The 9-year FPP renewal is for fourteen C60 microturbines that have been operating for a cumulative of 392,000 hours since 2008.

Biogaz Service, Capstones exclusive distributor for France, secured the follow-on FPP contract renewal, which supports the continued operation of these microturbines for what will be an almost twenty year period through September of 2027.

A central component to Capstones strategic growth strategy is to increase our quarterly aftermarket accessories, parts, and FPP service revenue to the point that it completely covers our quarterly operating expenses. Achieving this goal will eliminate our quarterly profitability risk while simultaneously unlocking our upside growth potential to enable market-based and national account pricing opportunities, said Darren Jamison, President and Chief Executive Officer of Capstone.

The site was commissioned in June 2008 and is located in northern France near the city of Rouen. The fourteen Capstone C60 microturbines are fueled by paper-derived digester gas and the heat from the microturbines exhaust is fed to a common header with the recovered heat being used by the plants paper mill processes, resulting in an overall highly-efficient installation.

Capstone is unique in the clean technology space in that our microturbine technology has a demonstrated twenty years of useful life, and we also are willing to guarantee the life cycle costs on an installation that already has almost 400 thousand operating hours, said Jim Crouse, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Capstone. This paper-derived site highlights the value our customers can achieve from the installation of our microturbines, the innovation possible with the application of our unique technology, and the long useful life that can be achieved from our products when leveraging the factory-backed FPP program, added Mr. Crouse.

Capstones innovate FPP program is an industry-leading aftermarket service plan, delivering peace of mind, predictable maintenance costs and remote monitoring capabilities at an economical price. The all-inclusive long-term FPP contract helps ensure business continuity while normalizing maintenance costs with a simple fixed maintenance fee per year regardless of the annual scheduled or unscheduled maintenance required.

Capstone continues to expand its aftermarket service offering to be more competitive in the distributed generation marketplace and is now bundling our product, accessories, and service contracts to make our value proposition even more compelling to the end-use customer, said Jeff Foster, Senior Vice President of Customer Service for Capstone.
