Weather peril exposure
BAINBRIDGE is an 80 MW oil power plant in Decatur County, GA, operated by SOUTH EASTERN ELEC DEVT CORP, commissioned in 2000. Decatur County carries elevated modeled catastrophe exposure in the FEMA National Risk Index, scoring 3.0 of 5 at the 49th national percentile. Riverine flooding is the leading peril, rated Relatively Moderate by FEMA at the 94th percentile.
The Bywatts loss layer is calibrated to solar PV hardware, so it is not applied to an oil plant. The ratings below are the FEMA National Risk Index county hazard ratings for this location.
