Weather peril exposure
PEJEPSCOT HYDROELECTRIC PROJECT is a 14 MW hydro power plant in Sagadahoc County, ME, operated by TOPSHAM HYDRO PARTNERS, commissioned in 1987. Sagadahoc County carries high modeled catastrophe exposure in the FEMA National Risk Index, scoring 3.6 of 5 at the 65th national percentile. Coastal flooding is the leading peril, rated Relatively Moderate by FEMA at the 100th percentile.
The Bywatts loss layer is calibrated to solar PV hardware, so it is not applied to a hydro plant. The ratings below are the FEMA National Risk Index county hazard ratings for this location.

Ratings are the FEMA National Risk Index county hazard ratings; the peril score is a Bywatts transform of the FEMA national percentile. Full data sources and the solar vulnerability methodology are in the weather risk calculator.
Modeled estimate for screening and negotiation. Built from FEMA National Risk Index county hazard data and a solar vulnerability layer documented above.
