Sell surplus wire from power generation sites
Outage work is documented work, and documented cable quotes faster.
Generation sites replace cable on a schedule tied to outages and inspections. That produces surplus with unusual clarity: a reel with a tag, a work order, and a known reason it is no longer needed. Control, instrumentation and medium voltage cable dominate.
We buy cable from outages, upgrades and decommissioned units: shielded control and instrumentation cable, tray cable, medium voltage power cable and the grounding conductor that comes with it. Send the tag and the work scope and we can usually quote without a site visit.
What power plants typically hold
- Shielded control and instrumentation cable
- Tray and VFD cable from auxiliary systems
- 5 kV through 35 kV power cable
- Grounding conductors and bare copper
- Communication and low voltage cable
- Cut lengths from outage replacements
What to send for a quote
- Tags plus the work order or scope description
- Voltage class and shield type for power cable
- Whether the cable was in service and for how long
- Site access, badging and escort requirements
- Crane or forklift availability for heavy reels
Questions from power plants
Do you buy cable removed during an outage?
Yes. Outage windows are the best time to sell, because the material and its documentation are still together.
Can you handle badging and escort rules?
Yes, when they are provided in advance. Tell us the site contact and the PPE requirements on the form.
Is decommissioned cable purchased?
Yes, with the history disclosed. Condition and documentation both affect the offer.
