Weather peril exposure
WHITE FEATHER GENERATING STATION is a 3 MW biomass power plant in Bay County, MI, operated by GRANGER ELECTRIC CO, commissioned in 2009. Bay County carries elevated modeled catastrophe exposure in the FEMA National Risk Index, scoring 3.2 of 5 at the 56th national percentile. Strong wind is the leading peril, rated Relatively High by FEMA at the 84th percentile.
The Bywatts loss layer is calibrated to solar PV hardware, so it is not applied to a biomass plant. The ratings below are the FEMA National Risk Index county hazard ratings for this location.
