Capstone Green Energy to Deliver Scalable 2MW Microturbine System for Government-Backed Power Station in Remote Oceania Community
Capstone Green Energy Holdings, Inc. (the 'Company' or 'Capstone') (PINK: CGEH) and Capstone Green Energy, LLC., announced that its Australian distributor, Optimal Group, has been selected as the EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) contractor for a remote community power generation project in the Oceania region. The project will deploy two Capstone C1000S Signature Series microturbines in a scalable configuration to deliver an initial 2 megawatts (MW) of reliable, low-emission power to an isolated community. This system is designed for expansion, with the ability to scale up to 5MW of power.
Commissioning of the initial 2MW installation is targeted for November 2025. The power station will be located near a natural gas fuel conditioning plant for conversion into LPG that will serve the Asia Pacific region. The project will off-take a portion of the natural gas from this process for the Capstone microturbines. The power generated by this facility will be exported to the local grid, meeting the community's current energy demand of 2MW. As additional residents and businesses connect to the grid over the coming years, the station's capacity is expected to scale up to 5MW.
'Being able to serve the needs of remote, underserved communities is especially meaningful for us,' said Vince Canino, President and CEO of Capstone Green Energy. 'Our ability to operate on alternate fuels in such isolated locations reinforces Capstone's original design philosophy of providing compact and mobile power solutions – visionary thinking that was introduced by Capstone's founders, James Noe and Robin McKay, almost 40 years ago. Our long-standing company culture of daring greatly and iterating towards success is why Capstone's microturbines can provide a much lower carbon footprint on a sustainable basis compared to diesel generators, and we are able to do so while offering unmatched reliability and availability. Even in the most challenging environments, we are able to provide a very attractive total cost of electricity.'
Capstone's modular microturbine design allows the system to easily scale with growing demand, ideal for evolving community needs. With a single-shaft design as the only moving part, plus air bearings that eliminate the need for lubricating oils and coolants, Capstone microturbines require minimal maintenance. This not only creates some of the highest availability factors in the industry, but it also leads to significant cost savings—an essential benefit for any project in remote locations.
This project will also transition the region away from reliance on diesel for power generation. By utilizing refined natural gas instead of diesel, the project will reduce NOx, CO2, and VOC emissions. It will also eliminate particulate matter (PM2.5) emissions all together. Additional benefits that contributed to the selection of Capstone's technology include its quieter operation. Because our microturbines run on a cushion of air, noise is significantly less than that of reciprocating engines which run at substantially higher decibel levels.
'This is yet another project that showcases our commitment to transitioning businesses and communities away from the pollution and messiness of diesel generation. This power station will provide a reliable source of electricity to the local community and significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Energy security will also be enhanced via the use of locally produced gaseous fuel,' said Craig Dugan, CEO of Optimal Group. 'Optimal's territory includes some of the most remote and challenging locations globally. Leveraging Capstone's technological flexibility allows us to deliver intelligently clean solutions at a lower total cost of ownership, with high availability and reliability. These solutions, which are renewable fuel-ready, integrate seamlessly with other renewable energy systems as well. We not only can make an impact today, but we have also designed in the ability to be future proof.'

Tradie loses $449,000 in an instant after missing key detail: '25 years of savings gone'
An Australian man is searching for answers after he unknowingly transferred 25 years' worth of his savings to a scammer. Mechanic Jimmy wanted to buy a home for his parents and was all set to make this dream come true. He even visited his Commonwealth Bank (CBA) branch in person to transfer the $449,000 to his conveyancer because he thought that would add a layer of protection against being scammed. However, he didn't realise the details he gave to the bank worker were fraudulent. "I wanted something that I could sort of call home in my mum's and dad's later years, in our later years, and still be close to the kids," he told A Current Affair. RELATED Commonwealth Bank's fresh alert for millions over mass text messages The top 10 highest salaries in Australia paying up to $700,000 Rare 5 cent coin worth 25,000 times its value Jimmy located this dream home in Lake Illawarra, south of Sydney, and it was set to cost him $1.1 million. When it came time to make the transfer for the deposit, a scammer had weaselled their way into the back-and-forth emails between the mechanic and Active Property Conveyancing. This is what's called an impersonation scam, and it cost Aussies $181 million last year alone. The consumer watchdog said scammers usually target businesses like conveyancers, real estate agencies, and car dealerships because of the big sums of money involved. Instead of the conveyancer sending over the correct bank details, the hacker hijacked the communications and sent over their bank thought everything was above board when he eventually went into the branch to send nearly half a million dollars. "[The bank teller] goes, 'Just tell me who you want me to pay'. And I said to her, 'I suppose you better do what the email says'. They've just got the paperwork. They've entered it all in. And we left, and that was it," he recalled. It took six days after the transfer for Jimmy to discover what had actually happened. "Our 25 years of life savings gone just like that," he added. CBA tried to retrieve the huge sum of money, however, it had been siphoned off in smaller chunks to other bank accounts two days after Jimmy's transfer. Mechanic blames bank, conveyancer - but they point out huge issue The mechanic is furious at what happened and is pointing the blame at Active Property Conveyancing, as well as CBA for letting him send off the money. "If your system was compromised and they've stolen my information and sent me an email, how's that my fault?" he said. Active Property Conveyancing said its systems were secure and the scam emails were sent from a Hotmail address and not one from their domain. The business also added there was a very specific disclaimer in the email with the fraudulent bank details that he "unfortunately" didn't follow. "Due to increased reports of emails between clients and conveyancers, we request that you DO NOT act on any communication asking you to transfer or deposit funds without first contacting us by telephone... to confirm the authenticity of the request," the disclaimer read. CBA said it takes these matters "very seriously" but added that Jimmy was asked seven scam-related questions before the transfer was authorised. One of those questions was whether he had confirmed the legitimacy of the details of the person he was sending the money to. Because he missed these key details, insurance won't cover him. Jimmy tried to take the issue to the Australian Financial Complaints Authority, but AFCA ruled in favour of the in to access your portfolio

Australia Plans to Lift Import Curbs on US Beef to Pacify Trump
The Australian government has announced it intends to remove restrictions on US beef imports in a bid to appease President Donald Trump, who had highlighted Canberra's biosecurity measures as an unfair impediment to trade. Agriculture Minister Julie Collins said the government will lift restrictions from next week on the import of red meat that originated in either Canada or Mexico and later slaughtered in the US. Australia barred US beef imports in 2003 following an outbreak of mad cow disease, and only eased some restrictions in 2019.
