Weather peril exposure
MID-GEORGIA COGENERATION FACILITY is a 323 MW natural gas power plant in Houston County, GA, operated by MID-GEORGIA COGEN LP, commissioned in 1997. Houston County carries moderate modeled catastrophe exposure in the FEMA National Risk Index, scoring 2.1 of 5 at the 27th national percentile. Lightning is the leading peril, rated Relatively High by FEMA at the 84th percentile.
The Bywatts loss layer is calibrated to solar PV hardware, so it is not applied to a natural gas plant. The ratings below are the FEMA National Risk Index county hazard ratings for this location.
