Capstone Turbine Corp has has sold a
C1000 natural gas-fired turbine to a
specialty meat producer in Italy
seeking to improve its onsite power
capacity.
This deal represents one of the first
sales of a Capstone C1000 power
package in Italy. A Capstone
distributor company, the IBT Group,
sold the C1000 to Recla, a company
in the Italian Alps which produces

prosciutto and other high-end meat
products. The bulk of these are
exported to the United States and
elsewhere around the world. The

allow for easy and low-cost installation.
The C1000 turbine will be installed in Recla's
production facility in a combined heat and power
application. The turbine will provide 1 MW of
electricity to supplement power from the local
utility. In addition, waste heat from the turbine will
be captured to preheat water for steam used in the
manufacturing process.
