( CGRN ) has announced that Horizon Power Systems , Capstone ’ s exclusive distributor for the Rocky Mountain States , Oklahoma , Arizona , and Western Provinces of Canada , has secured an order for two C200S high-pressure natural gas systems from a Canadian firm that provides mobile power to upstream oil and gas sites . Committed to leading the industry away from higher emission diesel power , the customer
selected Capstone ’ s microturbine technology for its low-emission , high-efficiency performance using clean-burning natural gas as a fuel . Other important factors included the systems ’ high reliability and low maintenance requirements , particularly in remote , off-grid locations . The microturbines can also be easily integrated into utility power or microgrids where and when needed , given their range of power outputs . Eliminating the need to truck diesel fuel into well sites reduces costs and lowers emissions , while the microturbines ’ quiet operation makes for a more pleasant environment . The systems are expected to be operational in the third quarter of 2022 . This is the first order Capstone has secured where the customer purchased the microturbine units to rent to its own oil and gas customers . The units will likely be installed at remote well sites and are sufficiently rugged and reliable for use in harsh Canadian weather conditions and environments .
