Capstone Green Energy Secures $2.4M Microturbine Order for Utah Resort

Event summary

  • Capstone Green Energy secured an order for two C800 Signature Series microturbines for a Utah resort, valued at approximately $2.4M (assuming ~$1.2M per unit).
  • The system, operating on pipeline natural gas with waste heat recovery, is expected to be commissioned in May 2026.
  • The project integrates combined heat and power (CHP) to deliver both electricity and thermal energy for the resort's amenities, including a large wave pool.
  • Capstone's microturbines offer ultra-low emissions, minimal acoustic impact, and highly efficient on-site generation.

The big picture

This deal underscores the growing strategic importance of on-site energy solutions in energy-intensive sectors like hospitality, where rising grid costs and sustainability pressures are driving demand for resilient, efficient power generation. Capstone's ability to deliver both electricity and thermal energy through its microturbines positions it as a key player in the decentralized energy market, particularly for applications requiring high reliability and low emissions. The project also highlights the increasing integration of waste heat recovery systems to enhance overall energy efficiency.
