Weather peril exposure
SPRING CANYON is a 60 MW wind power plant in Logan County, CO, operated by INVENERGY SERVICES LLC, commissioned in 2006. Logan County carries critical modeled catastrophe exposure in the FEMA National Risk Index, scoring 4.4 of 5 at the 85th national percentile. Tornado is the leading peril, rated Relatively Moderate by FEMA at the 88th percentile.
The Bywatts loss layer is calibrated to solar PV hardware, so it is not applied to a wind plant. The ratings below are the FEMA National Risk Index county hazard ratings for this location.
Logan County hazard ratings
| Peril | FEMA rating | National percentile | Peril score | Events per year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tornado | Relatively Moderate | 88th | 4.5 of 5 | 1.8 |
| Hail | Relatively High | 87th | 4.5 of 5 | 6.3 |
| Winter weather | Relatively Moderate | 76th | 4.0 of 5 | 9.9 |
| Wildfire | Relatively Low | 64th | 3.6 of 5 | <0.01 |
| Riverine flooding | Relatively Low | 63rd | 3.5 of 5 | 0.71 |
| Strong wind | Relatively High | 61st | 3.5 of 5 | 1.9 |
| Earthquake | Very Low | 36th | 2.4 of 5 | <0.01 |
| Heat wave | Very Low | 35th | 2.4 of 5 | 0.58 |
| Ice storm | Relatively Moderate | 25th | 2.0 of 5 | 0.15 |
| Lightning | Relatively Low | 8th | 1.3 of 5 | 47.5 |
Perils not assessed in Logan County
These perils carry no usable National Risk Index figure for this county, so they are excluded from the scoring rather than scored zero. A zero would claim the peril was assessed and found benign.
| Peril | Why it is not scored |
|---|---|
| Hurricane | FEMA rating is "Not Applicable" for this county |
| Coastal flooding | FEMA rating is "Not Applicable" for this county |
