Weather peril exposure
RECORD HILL WIND is a 51 MW wind power plant in Oxford County, ME, operated by RECORD HILL WIND LLC, commissioned in 2012. Oxford County carries moderate modeled catastrophe exposure in the FEMA National Risk Index, scoring 2.0 of 5 at the 26th national percentile. Lightning is the leading peril, rated Relatively Moderate by FEMA at the 96th 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.
