Summary
Capstone Green Energy Corp. will provide five microturbines to a waste management facility owned by the city of Anchorage, Alaska.
The order for the five 65-kilowatt dual mode microturbines was secured by Arctic Energy Inc., the Van Nuys manufacturer’s distributor in Alaska. The microturbine systems are expected to be operating in September.
Anchorage is the largest city in Alaska based on population.
