Capstone Announces Order for Approximately $4.7 Million for Coal Seam Gas Project in Australia

CHATSWORTH, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Capstone Turbine Corporation (www.microturbine.com) (NASDAQ:CPST),
the world's leading clean technology manufacturer of microturbine
energy systems, today announced that it received an order for
approximately $4.7 million from Aquatec-Maxcon Pty Ltd, its
distributor for the Australian market. The order is for primarily C30
microturbines with deliveries over a two-year period.

Established in 1970 and headquartered in Ipswich, Queensland,
Australia, Aquatec-Maxcon also has offices in Sydney and, through its
sister company, PT Aquatec-Maxcon Indonesia, it has offices in Jakarta
and Surabaya. Aquatec-Maxcon is Australia's leading provider of water
and wastewater technology and equipment. In many countries, discharge
of human and industrial wastes into inland or coastal waterways causes
pollution and, in many cases, creates health risks. Professional
wastewater treatment systems can eliminate most of the pollutants
before they reach the receiving waters and, in some instances, produce
water fit for re-use.

"The microturbines will be used in a coal seam gas exploration and
production project in Australia," said Jim Crouse, Capstone's
Executive Vice President, Sales and Marketing.

"To receive this considerable order from one of our newer
distributors, in a market in which we have not had significant
penetration, brings us closer to our goal of expanding our global
reach," said Darren Jamison, President and Chief Executive Officer of
Capstone Turbine Corporation.

"We pride ourselves in providing our customers high quality
products and services, while maintaining AS3901/ISO 9001 quality
standards," said Ron Howick, Equipment Division Manager of
Aquatec-Maxcon. "By signing a distribution agreement with Capstone
Turbine Corporation, a recognized leader in microturbine technology,
we are in a position to offer green, economical, and reliable energy
to our customers," added Howick.
