Capstone Green Energy Holdings, Inc., through its subsidiary Capstone Green Energy, LLC, announced an additional order of 5.8 megawatts (MW) of natural gas-fuelled microturbines, placed by a major player in the food manufacturing sector operating in Mexico. The company announced on August 26 that the transaction was secured by DTC Machinery, Capstone’s exclusive distributor for Mexico and Central America.

A multi-site project to meet thermal and electrical needs

The microturbines will be installed across several corn-based food processing plants, a production model requiring both consistent electrical supply and steady thermal output. Capstone stated that the electricity generated will power industrial equipment, including mills and ventilation systems, while turbine exhaust gases will be recovered to provide the heat required for product dehydration.

This configuration reflects a combined heat and power (CHP) model, which enables more efficient fuel use by utilising both electrical and thermal outputs. The company noted that this integrated approach offers operational cost savings to the client.

Strengthening an existing business relationship

The new order follows an earlier installation already in operation at another site owned by the same food group. Alejandro Munoz Barba, Principal at DTC Machinery, stated that this project builds directly on the successful outcomes of the previous deployment and meets the sector’s specific requirements for energy reliability and thermal integration.

Capstone Green Energy President and Chief Executive Officer Vince Canino stated that the new order demonstrates the client’s confidence in the company’s technology. He also noted that the operation aligns with a broader strategy of industrial adoption of distributed energy solutions aimed at addressing resilience, cost efficiency, and emissions management.

A replicable model in other industrial regions

Capstone claims its energy model is replicable due to proven performance in complex industrial environments, such as agro-food processing. The company is continuing its expansion across Latin American markets, focusing on rising demand for autonomous energy solutions capable of ensuring operational continuity without sole reliance on national electrical grids.
