Public Auction of items from retired
Crystal River Nuclear Plant,
Sept. 22-26
Crystal River - On Aug. 7, Duke Energy
Florida announced it will sell, at auction,
a wide variety of new and used tools and
equipment, ranging from cranes to hand
tools, from its retired Crystal River Nucle-
ar Plant. The proceeds from the sale of the
assets will benefit customers by reducing
future billing associated with the nuclear
plant. The company contracted with Heri-
tage Global Partners, a professional asset
valuation and auctioning services firm
based in San Diego, Calif., following a
formal request for proposals process, to
market and auction assets no longer need-
ed at the nuclear plant due to its decom-
missioning.
The public auction will include
more than a million individual items and
consist of a two-day preview and inspec-
tion opportunity, followed by a three-day
live and webcast auction, Sept. 22 ñ 26.
