Weather peril exposure
ROLLINS WIND PROJECT is a 60 MW wind power plant in Penobscot County, ME, operated by EVERGREEN WIND POWER III LLC, commissioned in 2011. Penobscot County carries moderate modeled catastrophe exposure in the FEMA National Risk Index, scoring 2.1 of 5 at the 28th national percentile. Winter weather is the leading peril, rated Very High by FEMA at the 95th 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.
