Calgary, Alberta, June 22, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today, Capstone Infrastructure Corporation (TSX: CSE.PR.A) ("Capstone”) announced that it is opening a western Canadian office in Calgary to support the company’s growing fleet of renewable energy facilities.

Capstone is a market leader in generating low-carbon electricity in western Canada.

With another 800+ MW in development projects in western Canada, Capstone expects its portfolio to continue to expand in the west.
