Energy & Power Auctions & Asset Sales

Energy and power operations generate surplus generation equipment, electrical infrastructure, and facility assets as plants are upgraded, fuel strategies shift, and sites are decommissioned or repurposed. Heritage Global Partners has led asset dispositions within this sector for utility operators, independent power producers, and industrial energy users, including full power plant dispositions and surplus equipment sales, often involving grid-connected and regulated facilities.

Assets in this category originate from facility retirements, capacity upgrades, regulatory-driven transitions, and corporate restructuring. These sales connect buyers active in power generation, transmission, distribution, and industrial energy applications.

  • Turbines, generators, and power generation systems
  • Boilers, condensers, and heat recovery equipment
  • Transformers, switchgear, and substations
  • Electrical distribution and control systems
