Weather peril exposure
FLORIDA POWER DEVELOPMENT is a retired 125 MW coal power plant in Hernando County, FL, formerly operated by FLORIDA POWER DEVELOPMENT. Hernando County carries elevated modeled catastrophe exposure in the FEMA National Risk Index, scoring 3.2 of 5 at the 55th national percentile. Hurricane is the leading peril, rated Relatively High by FEMA at the 92nd percentile.
The Bywatts loss layer is calibrated to solar PV hardware, so it is not applied to a coal plant. The ratings below are the FEMA National Risk Index county hazard ratings for this location.
