Capstone is Focused on Growing the EaaS Business Model as Quickly as Possible Because it Provides Higher Margins, More Constant and Predictable Revenue Streams

VAN NUYS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--$CGRN #EnergyAsAService--Capstone Green Energy Corporation’s (NASDAQ: CGRN) exclusive distributor for Alaska, Artic Energy, has secured a new 12-month Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS) rental contract with a local oil and gas company headquartered in Anchorage. The oil exploration company has established a dominant acreage position on the resource-rich North Slope, home to the largest oil fields in North America, and is looking to reduce its environmental impact.



This contract signifies continued EaaS business expansion due to ongoing customer demand and demonstrates progress on the Company’s vision to create smarter energy for a cleaner future and builds on its track record of saving its customers an estimated $698 million in annual energy costs and reducing CO2 emissions by more than 1,115,100 in the past three years.

“Capstone is seeing strong customer demand across industries for its EaaS long-term rental services, which had 7 MW under contract in March 2021, 26 MW under contract in March 2022, and today contracts in excess of 35 MW, representing nearly 37% growth in one quarter alone,” said Darren Jamison, President and Chief Executive Officer of Capstone Green Energy. “Our EaaS business provides a lower cost and carbon footprint for on-site energy systems in energy-intense businesses like oil and gas, hospitality, commercial, industrial, cannabis, and bitcoin mining which meets multiple needs of existing and prospective customers,” added Mr. Jamison.

Capstone is focused on growing our EaaS business because it provides higher margins, more constant and predictable revenue streams, and allows for a more streamlined staffing model than a traditional industrial manufacturing company while helping customers manage capital costs and meet their environmental impact targets.

As part of this growth strategy, Capstone management has reduced operating costs and modified the operating model, all while continuing to expand its EaaS business. In order to keep up with demand, the company has turned to a “re-rent” strategy which allows the company to quickly accelerate the EaaS rental business model without using large amounts of new capital. A “re-rented” unit is taking an existing customer’s pre-owned microturbine unit that is not being utilized and deploying it into our growing EaaS customer base. By leveraging this unique re-rent strategy, we have created an additional revenue stream for both our Distributors and Capstone, all while continuing to save customers money on their energy needs. Of the 35 MW of contracts noted above, approximately 21 MW of contracts are being fulfilled by units from our internal rental fleet, and the remaining contracts will be fulfilled through re-rents.

“The re-rent model we have recently implemented allows us to continue the high growth rate of the EaaS business without the need for investing additional capital. The margin rates are lower on a re-rent basis than our traditional rental model, but we have the option to purchase the re-rented microturbine-based system in the future in most cases when the company has higher free cash flows,” concluded Mr. Jamison.

About Capstone Green Energy

DEERFIELD, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, the U.S. International Trade Commission (“ITC”) made a negative final injury determination concerning its investigation of imports of urea ammonium nitrate solutions (“UAN”) from Russia and Trinidad and Tobago (“Trinidad”).


“We are disappointed that the International Trade Commission has determined the U.S. UAN industry has not been harmed by the unfair trade practices from state-subsidized entities underpinning UAN imports from Russia and Trinidad that were clearly established through thorough and impartial investigations by the U.S. government,” said Tony Will, president and chief executive officer, CF Industries Holdings, Inc. “Unfortunately, this outcome will perpetuate an unlevel playing field for a domestic industry that has invested billions of dollars in the U.S. to ensure American farmers have a reliable source of UAN fertilizer.”

Today’s ITC’s decision follows the U.S. Department of Commerce’s (“Commerce”) final affirmative AD/CVD determinations in June 2022. Commerce found that imports from Russia are dumped (i.e., sold at less than fair value) at rates ranging from 8.16% to 122.93%, and unfairly subsidized at rates ranging from 6.27% to 9.66%. In addition, Commerce found that imports from Trinidad are dumped at a rate of 111.71% and unfairly subsidized at a rate of 1.83%.

Commerce and the ITC initiated their investigations in July 2021 in response to petitions filed by CF Industries through certain of its production facilities.

Since 2019, 66 graduates have helped 139 northern Illinois residents and businesses save money and energy

OAK BROOK, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--To expand energy efficiency while helping diverse businesses across northern Illinois grow, ComEd today announced the graduation of 33 minority-owned, woman-owned, veteran-owned and other contractor businesses from the ComEd Energy Efficiency Service Provider (EESP) Incubator program. ComEd marked the occasion with a graduation ceremony today in Oak Brook, Ill.

The EESP Incubator Program offers participants education and training on ComEd's energy efficiency portfolio offerings; provides one-on-one assistance with certification applications, business growth plans and building relationships with project financing lenders; and identifies, addresses, and resolves barriers to building a successful business in the energy efficiency field. Participants will also have the opportunity to be matched with an experienced mentor for additional peer-to-peer support.

For ComEd, powering lives is more than delivering electricity to our customers,” said Gil C. Quiniones, CEO of ComEd. “It’s about supporting the region’s workforce and economy through utility-driven, clean-energy innovation and opportunities. The success of our customers and communities will always be at the center of everything we do here at ComEd.”

ComEd created the EESP Incubator Program in 2019 to focus on recruiting diverse contractor businesses and to support the development of all interested contractors. After graduation, contractors are eligible to join the EESP network and, once accepted, provide ComEd Energy Efficiency Program incentives to customers and grow their businesses through the successful completion of energy efficiency projects.

One participant’s story

To address the barriers often faced by diverse contractor businesses, ComEd saw an opportunity to develop programs to support these local businesses, especially those whose employees are trained as lighting, HVAC or general contractors.

Ramon Hayes is a 2019 Incubator program alumnus and owner of South Holland, Ill.-based Eco-Energy Solutions, a service-disabled, veteran-owned business. Prior to participating in the program, Hayes relied on a small client base and single contract to keep his business doors open. The Incubator team, through one-on-one sessions, assisted Hayes in developing a business growth plan and provided opportunities to enhance his networking abilities.

The Incubator program was really instrumental in allowing me networking opportunities and in putting me in front of major players in the energy-efficiency space,” said Hayes. “It’s actually really simple. There is no way I would be doing the volume of business that I am doing, had I not gone through the Incubator program.”

Hayes now mentors current Incubator cohort members in energy efficiency project best practices.

Eco-Energy Solutions is one of 66 contractor businesses that have participated in ComEd’s EESP Incubator. Of those participants, 51 have joined the EESP Network and, to date, have submitted 139 energy efficiency projects to ComEd. Many of those projects are located in communities of need which aligns with ComEd’s vision for a clean energy future for all communities it serves, but especially for those most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.

Over the years, the ComEd Energy Efficiency Program has increasingly helped customers of all kinds reduce their energy bills and consumption, which also helps reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Since its inception in 2008, the ComEd Energy Efficiency Program has provided impactful contributions toward Illinois’ clean energy future. Specifically, the ComEd Energy Efficiency Program has:

  • saved ComEd customers more than 56 million megawatt hours of energy usage and a total of $6.7 billion on their electric bills.
  • reduced carbon dioxide emissions by more than 61 billion pounds, the equivalent of taking six million cars off the road for one year.
  • issued more than $1.5 billion in incentives, allowing northern Illinois customers to reinvest in their homes, businesses and communities.

ComEd is a unit of Chicago-based Exelon Corporation (NASDAQ: EXC), a Fortune 200 energy company with approximately 10 million electricity and natural gas customers – the largest number of customers in the U.S. ComEd powers the lives of more than 4 million customers across northern Illinois, or 70 percent of the state’s population.

Growers can take greater control of their environment using class-leading technologies



CLEVELAND--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Current™ invites growers to learn about never-before-possible methods for smarter farming and faster growth at Cultivate’22—the premier event for the entire green industry. Representing a new era in LED lighting for controlled environment agriculture, Current’s reenergized Arize® brand will showcase all-new ways for growers to increase yields without compromising quality in booth #2421.

Only from Arize

Arize is the definition of world-class LED lighting for dedicated growers who want to operate more sustainably, optimize growth and exercise customized control over their environments. With a mission to empower growers to feed the world, the Arize brand makes it possible to Rise Above ordinary expectations and boost productivity.

At Cultivate’22 attendees can discover the latest Arize solutions for brightening the life of plants, growers and the planet including:

  • The Arize Element® L2000 enabling efficient growth at industrial scale. This high output (up to 3600 µmol/s) LED top light is a true 1000W HPS replacement that can reduce fixture count by 20% or increase light density when retrofitting spaces or building new. Assembled with pride in Hendersonville, North Carolina, the L2000 is one of the most efficient grow lights in its class, spreads uniform light even wider using next-gen optics and gives growers a wide variety of spectrum options, ranging from broad to narrow band. As a powerful, precise, reliable solution for growers with bigger goals, the L2000 can help ensure predictable yields for years to come and is backed by a five-year system warranty.
  • The Arize Integral intra-canopy light offering best-in-class output (346 µmol/s) and efficacy (3.5 µmol/J). Integral is designed to help growers maximize yields of high-wire crops through more strategic deployment of light that penetrates deep within the plant canopy. In combination with the Arize® Element L1000 top light, Integral disperses a tailored light spectrum across a wide angle, immersing lower leaves on both sides of the fixture. A study conducted with Wageningen University & Research revealed a 14% increase in tomato yields, with no impact on quality or taste, when supplementing top lighting with Integral vs. 100% top lighting on its own.

“We combine plant science with lighting innovation to help produce optimal growing conditions that are better for our customers’ specific needs,” said Bruno D'Amico, Global Product Manager for Horticulture Lighting at Current. “We want to inspire growers to achieve their best using the best LED solutions formed from collaboration with industry leaders, researchers and photobiologists.”

More to See

Arize arrives at Cultivate’22 with a new brand look characterized by the same devotion to producing excellence that drives growers to reach their goals. With a refreshed color palette and visual foundation inspired by nature, Arize represents the proliferation of tangible, modular, scalable lighting solutions that bring more profits and peace of mind to growers.

A new logo portraying three ascending points also symbolizes the upward trajectory that an engineered approach, trusted partner, and sustainable, reliable solutions can set a business upon. Cultivate’22 attendees who aspire for a brighter future can meet with Current to take the first step.

Including greenhouse and nursery growers, retailers, distributors, interior and exterior landscapers, florists, educators, researchers and manufacturers, the Cultivate conference hosted by AmericanHort is known to attract thousands of professionals from over 40 countries. Cultivate’22 takes place July 16-19 at the Greater Columbus Convention Center in Columbus, Ohio, as the green industry convenes in person again this year.

“There is no better place to meet the people who are deep-rooted in developing the next wave of lighting innovations,” said D’Amico. “We operate in lockstep with growers to design a light plan that is specific to their facility, because no two operations are the same.”

Renewable electricity to play key role in Emerson’s net zero emissions goals

ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Emerson (NYSE: EMR), a global leader in technology and software solutions, has joined RE100, a global initiative bringing together businesses committed to 100% renewable electricity. This alignment with other sustainability pioneers in the effort led by Climate Group, in partnership with CDP, is the latest step in Emerson’s plan to source 100% renewable electricity by 2030.


To achieve this 2030 target, Emerson will leverage a broad range of renewable energy sources, including solar, wind, geothermal and hydropower. Due to recent efforts in the renewables procurement space, Emerson anticipates sourcing 25% of its global electricity usage from renewable sources in 2022. The company has also installed on-site renewable electricity generation systems at several facilities worldwide and will expand implementation of these systems going forward.

“Emerson's renewable energy strategy will play an important role in our goal to reach net zero operations by 2030,” said Mike Train, Emerson’s Chief Sustainability Officer. “Our engagement with RE100 enhances Emerson’s ability to drive further investment in renewable electricity and support the overall decarbonization of the grid in the key markets we operate in, such as the U.S., Mexico, Europe, China and India.”

As part of the company’s net zero operations objective, Emerson is targeting 100% renewable electricity coverage from contracted electricity sources and on-site generation assets. Electricity usage drives approximately 75% of Emerson’s Scope 1 and 2 emissions.

“We are delighted to welcome Emerson to RE100,” said Sam Kimmins, Director of Energy at Climate Group. “By committing to 100% renewable electricity by 2030, Emerson joins over 300 of the world’s leading businesses committed to driving market change. This sends a powerful message that renewable electricity makes good business sense, and we encourage others to follow.”

In 2021, Emerson established its Energy Sourcing Committee to increase the company’s use of renewable electricity, collaborating globally to evaluate and implement renewable energy purchases. Emerson also works with third-party energy specialists active in energy markets to identify emerging opportunities.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Macquarie Asset Management’s Green Investment Group (GIG) and Galehead Development (Galehead) today announced the close of an investment by GIG in Galehead, a leading US-based renewable energy development platform and trusted partner to global utilities, independent power producers and large US corporates for planning, managing and delivering renewable energy projects.

Galehead is differentiated by its proprietary LandCommand® technology and specialized front-end development capabilities. Since 2016 the company has successfully developed and monetized 5 GW of solar PV, wind and co-located storage projects and is actively developing an additional 4 GW through existing joint development arrangements. GIG’s investment will allow Galehead to advance a further 6 GW of early to mid-stage renewable energy projects, enter new markets and explore new commercial applications for its LandCommand® platform. The Galehead partnership and pipeline will contribute towards GIG’s strategy of owning both development and operating-phase renewable energy assets.

“The US renewables market is embarking on a period of enormous growth, driven largely by the core renewable technologies of solar and wind,” said Mark Dooley, Global Head of Green Investment Group. “With its proven track-record and strong pipeline of early- to mid-stage development projects, Galehead is well positioned to be at the forefront of this growth. Our partnership enables us to expand GIG’s footprint in the US and marks the start of an exciting new phase in our work to accelerate the transition to net zero.”

GIG is a specialist green investor within Macquarie Asset Management, and a global leader in the development of companies, assets and technologies that aim to accelerate the global transition to net zero. The asset manager oversees investments in more than 46 GW of capacity, and through GIG and its portfolio companies, is currently developing over 30 GW of renewable energy capacity globally.

“Macquarie Asset Management’s Green Investment Group is an ideal long-term capital partner for Galehead to advance our vision for ‘developing a century of Impact Infrastructure.’ We are proud to continue the long tradition of GIG’s pioneering investments in the energy transition, and we are excited about working together to expand the Galehead platform,” said Galehead CEO Matt Marino.

“We are thrilled to achieve our strategic objectives through the structuring and closing of this investment. GIG’s capital commitment strengthens Galehead’s balance sheet, access to institutional resources and our internal capabilities for delivering transformative clean energy projects to our downstream partners,” added Galehead COO Patrick Martin.

Already an established market for renewable energy with 37 GW installed during 2021, we believe the US is set for further strong growth over the course of this decade. It is estimated that the US will account for a significant portion of the global renewable energy growth expected between now and 2030.1

Ongoing development of power generation technology is driving the market growth during the forecast period. In recent years, power consumption has risen dramatically in developing countries. Power consumption has increased due to the economy's strong growth, thriving manufacturing sector, and growing population.

Furthermore, there is a higher need for energy consumption due to the rise of emerging countries and increases in living standards. For example, the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) predicted that global power consumption would increase by over 50% by 2050.

As the demand for electricity rises, various countries worldwide increase their power-producing capacity by expanding existing facilities or constructing new ones. For instance, in November 2021, Wartsila has agreed to supply two major multi-fuel power plants with a combined capacity of 600 MW to Mexico's public-owned state electricity unit, "Comision Federal de Electricidad (CFE)." Companies are quickly inclining towards renewable energy sources for electricity generation due to harsh government rules regulating carbon emissions. They choose gas-powered engines that run on natural gas as a fuel source.

Based on the fuel type, the natural market segment accounted for the leading share in the market. Natural gas is commonly utilized in engines to generate power since that burns cleaner and emits less carbon than other fuels. It also produces minor levels of nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, and nanoparticles. Industrial and commercial electricity production are two of the most common uses for natural gas engine. Natural gas capsules are available from many distribution providers in rural locations when gas delivery networks do not exist.

LONDON & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--$EVTL--Vertical Aerospace (Vertical) [NYSE: EVTL], a global aerospace and technology company that is pioneering zero-emissions aviation, today announces that it has confirmed delivery slots and the commitment of associated pre-delivery payments with American Airlines (NASDAQ: AAL).


American has reserved delivery slots for the first 50 VX4 aircraft of its initial conditional pre-order of up to 250 aircraft, with an option for an additional 100, announced in June 2021. The parties will build upon their existing joint working group to collaborate on a framework to explore the future of advanced air mobility and prepare for the VX4’s entry into service.

The commitment to pay pre-delivery payments and confirmation of slot reservations for the first 50 aircraft is believed to be the first of its kind for a major airline in the eVTOL industry, and it marks a significant milestone in the partnership between American and Vertical.

Today’s announcement follows the recent news of a further 50 conditional pre-orders of the VX4 from FLYINGGROUP, establishing Molicel as its battery partner, and agreeing to concurrent certification with the European Union’s Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the UK’s Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).

Stephen Fitzpatrick, Founder & CEO of Vertical said “We are delighted to have reached this major milestone with American Airlines on our eVTOL partnership. Together, we are making zero-emissions flight a reality for passengers travelling all over the world. We look forward to continuing our work with American and seeing the first red, white and blue VX4 come off the production line.”

Our partnership with Vertical is a great example of progress in our commitment to reducing carbon emissions throughout our airline and the industry,” said American’s Chief Financial Officer Derek Kerr.We have made great strides in simplifying our fleet with newer and more fuel-efficient aircraft, and are proud to take part in another step toward the development of advanced air mobility.”
