Capstone Turbine Corp., one of the world's leading clean technology manufacturers of microturbine energy systems, has entered into a three-year national account agreement with OfficePower, Inc. In addition, OfficePower placed its initial order under the agreement for $3.5 million including the first order for C1000 MicroTurbine systems to be deployed in the U.S. market. The C1000s will be installed in the following class A office buildings: * 200 Park Ave., a 58-story multi-tenant office building; * 220 East 42nd St., also known as "The News Building," a 37-story multi-tenant office building; and * 230 Park Ave., a 34-story multi-tenant building located between 45th and 46th Sts. known as the Helmsley Building.
