Duke Energy Florida announced today 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 nuclear power plant north of Tampa.
The proceeds from the sale of the assets directly benefit customers by reducing future billing associated with the nuclear plant.
The company contracted with Heritage 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 needed at the nuclear plant due to its decommissioning.
