Decommissioning EPSS Components

Published: Dan Chisholm Sr

MGI-DECOM recommends that hospitals and data centers consider “pre-removal advertising” of emergency power equipment as a method for receiving maximum salvage dollars.  Whether selling equipment outright or brokering through MGI, the offers from buyers can improve by 50%.

MGI-DECOM can assist in marketing any generator, parallel gear, or transfer switches regardless of make, model, or tier rating.  We have clients worldwide.

MGI-DECOM has found new owners for over 250MW of decommissioned generators and switchgear since 2001 through private sales.

For more information just send pictures, details, and projected removal dates to DECOM@MGI-EPSS.COM
