SOMERSET, Mass., Aug. 29, 2018,/PRNewswire/ — All equipment and machinery located at shutdown Brayton Point Power Station will be sold in a three-day online auction beginning on September 18th to 20th, 2018. The auction is the next phase of the plant’s decommissioning, which began on May 31st, 2017 when Brayton Point ceased operations after over half a century of being in business. Interested parties can view the assets available in the auction and bid online on Aucto.com.
The plant began operating in the 1960s and has since generated 1,600 MW each year, supplying power to approximately 1.5 million homes and fueled Somerset’s schools and services.
