Weather peril exposure
STETSON WIND I is a 57 MW wind power plant in Washington County, ME, operated by STETSON HOLDINGS, LLC, commissioned in 2009. Washington County carries high modeled catastrophe exposure in the FEMA National Risk Index, scoring 3.4 of 5 at the 61st national percentile. Coastal flooding is the leading peril, rated Relatively Moderate by FEMA at the 98th 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.
