  • In August 2025, the Company expanded its direct presence in the United States by acquiring the Cal Microturbine (as defined herein) territory, establishing Capstone West Territory ("CWT") and strengthening our direct engagement with customers across key western states.
  • Looking ahead, we believe Capstone is uniquely positioned to capitalize on several powerful and converging market tailwinds.
  • As part of our growth strategy, we continue to evaluate opportunities to expand our distribution network, including potential acquisitions of existing distributors in select markets.
  • The rapid growth of artificial intelligence is driving unprecedented demand for reliable, high-density, on-site power which is a demand that traditional utility infrastructure is struggling to meet. ​ Products Capstone's microturbines are compact, lightweight, and environmentally advanced distributed power generation systems.
  • Operating on similar principles as a jet engine, our systems are engineered to deliver clean, reliable electricity, heat, and cooling across a wide range of commercially available fuels, from natural gas and renewable biogas to landfill gas, wastewater-derived methane, sour gas, low-BTU gas, and hydrogen blends of up to 30% here we can easily operate across the entire operating window.
  • This exceptional fuel/operating flexibility is not incidental to our design, it is a core competitive differentiator that enables Capstone to serve customers across diverse industries, geographies, and regulatory environments where competing technologies cannot operate effectively across all operating ranges or do so economically and environmentally.
  • Core Technology Capstone's microturbines are built on four proprietary design pillars that collectively deliver the reliability, efficiency, and low-maintenance performance our customers depend on: Advanced Combustion Technology .
  • Our combustion system achieves emissions levels among the lowest of any distributed generation technology available.
  • Our natural gas-fueled C65, C200, C600, C800, and C1000S Series microturbines, when combined with catalyst and heat recovery, have been certified by the California Air Resources Board ("CARB") as meeting its stringent 2007 emissions standards, the same standards applied to fuel cells and central power plants.
  • These ultra-low emission levels not only reflect our environmental commitment, but also materially simplify the permitting process for continuously operated on-site power generation across numerous jurisdictions.
  • Capstone's air bearing system eliminates the friction noise of ball bearings and the use of petroleum-based lubrication entirely.
  • By using a high-pressure field of air generated by high rotation speeds, we are able to support the microturbine's single moving assembly on a cushion of air.
  • This design fundamentally reduces maintenance intervals since there is no friction, no oil changes, no coolant systems, and no other lubricants.
  • This is a primary driver of our industry-leading uptime which allows us to deliver higher energy production at a lower maintenance cost, thus driving a total cost of ownership that distinguishes Capstone from reciprocating engine and other competing technologies.
  • Our advanced power electronics platform manages all critical microturbine functions, including speed, temperature, fuel flow, load management, and grid coordination, entirely through digital controls.
  • The system enables seamless transitions between grid-connected and stand-alone operating modes, ensuring that customers' critical loads experience no interruption in the event of a utility outage.

  • All references in this Annual Report on Form 10-K to “the Company,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or “Capstone” are to Capstone Green Energy Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries prior to the Effective Date (as defined below) and to Capstone Green Energy Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries following the Effective Date.
  • Overview Capstone has pioneered the future of low-emissions oil free power and energy technology for almost four decades.
  • Our very low maintenance intervals allow for high availability rates, thus making us a leader of sustainable clean energy technology solutions worldwide.
  • Our commitment to safety, innovation and operational excellence helps set the gold standard for holistic, sustainable energy solutions that deliver results.
  • Capstone strives to be the first choice when energy matters.
  • We do this by providing multi-faceted energy solutions in various formats.
  • Our bespoke solutions help solve the “Energy Trilemma” of resiliency, affordability and sustainability.
  • Capstone’s product portfolio not only showcases our core microturbine technology but also includes other products that help clients create a holistic, clean and flexible energy solution.
  • These solutions can integrate into either a microgrid application or into a straight-forward distributed generation solution that can also recycle the waste heat from our microturbines into useful hot water, steam and/or chilled water.
  • We develop, manufacture, market, sell and service microturbine-based technology solutions for use in stationary distributed power generation (“simple cycle”) applications or in distribution networks.
  • Our microturbine technology can be used as a standalone power solution or as Combined Heat and Power (“CHP”) cogeneration and Integrated Combined Heat and Power (“ICHP”) applications where the heat recovery module is directly integrated to the microturbine package, and Combined Cooling, Heat and Power (“CCHP”), also known as tri-generation.
  • We offer customers a range of commercial, industrial and utility scale options tailored to their specific needs ranging from 65 kilowatts (“kW”) to multiple megawatts (“MW”).
  • Capstone also offers complimentary ancillary products to recycle waste energy into other useful applications.
  • We also manufacture and supply system controllers that provide complete automated system control, including electrical load following and custom logic to protect against expensive local utility demand charges.
  • These controllers include the legacy Capstone Logic Controllers (“CLC”) and the Capstone C1000S Series (refer to “—Products” for detailed discussion of our products) system controllers.
  • To help clients maintain confidence in the total cost of ownership in their investment, Capstone also offers factory protection plans (“FPP”) which provide planned and unplanned maintenance coverage.
  • For those clients who may be more capital constrained or prefer to leverage their capital back into their own businesses, Capstone also provides financial solutions under our Energy-as-a-Service (“EaaS”) offerings.
  • Our EaaS offerings currently include four repeatable business models: (1) rental services, (2) Build, Own, Operate and Maintain (“BOOM”) and (3) power purchase agreement (“PPA”) solutions, and (4) “lease to own.” Capstone products allow customers to produce power on-site in parallel with the local electric grid seamlessly due to our inverter-based technology, thus avoiding the addition and integration of large and costly switchgear lineups required to protect the grid.
  • Our solutions can also run in stand-alone or “island mode” when no local electric grid is available.
  • Several other technologies are available for use in providing “on-site power generation” or “distributed generation” but they lack the compact, high redundancy, simple installations and low maintenance intervals that Capstone microturbine products provide.
  • Our built in or “Active Redundancy” in our C400, C600, C800, and C1000S Series (refer to “—Products” for detailed discussion of our products) systems and our low maintenance intervals are what drive our high availability factors.
  • Reciprocating industrial engines (also known as internal combustion engines), solar photovoltaic power (“PV”), wind turbines and fuel cells can all play a role in distributed generation but are vastly different to the Capstone solution when considering redundancy, maintenance intervals, and capacity factors as all necessary components to create high available run time (“availability rate”).
  • Due to its inverter-based technology and ability to generate power at any given time on a sustainable basis, our microturbines are one of the few technologies that can be the foundation/backbone of a set of interconnected distributed energy sources such as PV, wind, battery energy storage systems, fuel cells, etc.
  • When a client’s overall sustainability and lower carbon footprint goals require integrated renewable energy and battery energy storage, operating these components in a microgrid fashion can be quite challenging due to frequently changing dynamics of the system.
  • Capstone’s inverter-based microturbine technology is the stabilizing answer to this resiliency dilemma.
  • This is the strength of the Capstone technology.
  • Our microturbine’s low maintenance intervals and fuel flexibility are optimal for remote applications where grid power either does not exist or lacks resiliency.
  • For customers that do not have access to the local electric utility grid, microturbines provide cleaner, on-site power with fewer scheduled maintenance intervals and greater fuel flexibility than competing technologies.
  • Examples of this are in the oil and gas space where utility power may take many years to reach the production areas; since our microturbines can run on many different types of gas, including gas with a higher amount of sulfur, known in the industry as “sour gas”, we are able to provide their local power needs and significantly reduce emissions versus flaring or traditional generation solutions used at the well head.
  • We have provided Capstone microturbine energy systems designed for onshore and offshore oil and gas applications with product offerings ranging from 65 kW to one MW in electric power output, which can be deployed in arrays of multiple MWs.
  • For customers with access to the electric grid, microturbines provide an additional source of continuous, flexible, on-site power generation, thereby providing additional reliability and potential cost savings compared to the local utility.
  • With our stand-alone feature, customers can produce their own energy in the event of a utility power outage and can use microturbines as their primary source of power for extended periods of time unlike traditional diesel standby generator sets.
  • Because our microturbines also produce clean, usable heat energy, they provide economic advantages to customers that can benefit from the use of hot water, chilled water, air conditioning, steam and direct drying.
  • Our microturbine technology works well in remote applications where alternative fuels (e.g., biogas, LPG, butane, propane, LNG and now even 35% hydrogen blended natural gas) can be transported to the microturbine.
  • For instance, remote island locations have found this solution to be very useful.
  • This solution provides lower emissions, lower maintenance intervals, and needed redundancy and reliability when compared to a diesel technology alternative.
  • In addition, our microturbines have been used to support battery charging stations for electric vehicles.
  • The microturbine solution has become quite useful in areas where the utility is unable to support the electric demand from Electric Vehicle (“EV”) charging stations.
  • Our microturbines combine proprietary air bearing technology, advanced combustion technology, sophisticated power electronics, and advanced software controls to form efficient and ultra-low emission electricity and cooling and heat production systems.
  • Because of our air bearing technology, our microturbines do not require lubricating oil, grease or traditional coolants, thus lowering the frequency of routine maintenance events whilst creating a cleaner and environmentally friendly option to alternative technologies.
