Weather peril exposure
ANP BELLINGHAM ENERGY PROJECT is a 578 MW natural gas power plant in Norfolk County, MA, operated by ANP BELLINGHAM ENERGY COMPANY LLC, commissioned in 2002. Norfolk County carries low modeled catastrophe exposure in the FEMA National Risk Index, scoring 1.4 of 5 at the 10th national percentile. Hurricane is the leading peril, rated Relatively Moderate by FEMA at the 77th 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.
