June 9, 2010 (FinancialWire) (Go to http://www.financialwire.net/?s=ftrdnwswnd for all of today’s featured news.) — Capstone Turbine Corp. (NASDAQ: CPST), a leading clean technology manufacturer of microturbine energy systems, has named Rikans International its distributor in Pakistan. As a Capstone distributor, Rikans will sell and service low-emission Capstone microturbines to a variety of Pakistani business sectors, including hospitality, residential, education, health care, offices, retail, recreation, industrial, telecom and government. Pakistan, located in South Asia bordering the Arabian Sea, is facing an extreme energy crisis and is in desperate need of reliable and efficient energy systems, according to a 2004 report by the Islamabad Policy Research Institute.

The report stated: "Pakistan is most likely to face a major energy crisis in natural gas, power and oil in the next three to four years that could choke the economic growth for many years to come."

"Load-shedding is common with frequent blackouts occurring, which severely impacts businesses and the economy. Onsite power solutions like Capstone microturbines are key to helping Pakistan meet its fast-growing demand for power. Not only are Capstone products reliable, they can operate independently of the grid, produce clean energy and run on a variety of fuel types," said Jim Crouse, Capstone's executive vice president of sales and marketing.

Capstone Turbine claims first place in the race to market commercially viable microturbine energy products.
