INTERNATIONAL PAPER VICKSBURG MILL, a 51 MW Biomass power plant in Warren County, Mississippi. Operated by INTERNATIONAL PAPER CO-VICKSBG, commissioned 1967.
How INTERNATIONAL PAPER VICKSBURG MILL compares
With 51 MW of capacity, INTERNATIONAL PAPER VICKSBURG MILL ranks 24th among the 37 operating power plants Bywatts maps in Mississippi and 3rd of the 4 operating Biomass plants in the state. It accounts for about 17% of Mississippi's operating Biomass capacity and 0.3% of all operating capacity in the state. Nationally it is the 74th-largest of the 350 operating Biomass plants in the database. Commissioned in 1967, it is older than 85% of the 35 operating Mississippi plants with a recorded commissioning year. It shares Warren County with one other operating plant, ERGON REFINING VICKSBURG.
EIA-860 lists 2 generators at the site with 51 MW of nameplate capacity, all wood/wood waste biomass technology. Net generation was 209 GWh in 2024 (a 47% capacity factor), up 20% from 2022.
Grid neighborhood
The closest transmission line found within 10 miles is a 115 kV line owned by ENTERGY MISSISSIPPI INC, under 0.1 miles away. One other operating power plant sits within 25 miles: ERGON REFINING VICKSBURG (5 MW, Natural Gas).
Computed by Bywatts from HIFLD power plant and transmission line records and EIA-860/923 survey data; distances are straight-line. Sources and methodology
Weather peril exposure
INTERNATIONAL PAPER VICKSBURG MILL is a 51 MW biomass power plant in Warren County, MS, operated by INTERNATIONAL PAPER CO-VICKSBG, commissioned in 1967. Warren County carries critical modeled catastrophe exposure in the FEMA National Risk Index, scoring 4.9 of 5 at the 98th national percentile. Hail is the leading peril, rated Relatively High by FEMA at the 99th 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.
Warren County hazard ratings
| Peril | FEMA rating | National percentile | Peril score | Events per year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hail | Relatively High | 99th | 4.9 of 5 | 4.0 |
| Lightning | Relatively Moderate | 80th | 4.2 of 5 | 68.7 |
| Ice storm | Relatively Moderate | 77th | 4.1 of 5 | 1.0 |
| Strong wind | Relatively High | 74th | 4.0 of 5 | 3.5 |
| Tornado | Relatively High | 70th | 3.8 of 5 | 0.73 |
| Hurricane | Relatively Low | 68th | 3.7 of 5 | 0.08 |
| Earthquake | Relatively Low | 68th | 3.7 of 5 | <0.01 |
| Riverine flooding | Relatively Low | 61st | 3.4 of 5 | 1.8 |
| Heat wave | Relatively Moderate | 58th | 3.3 of 5 | 18.8 |
| Winter weather | Very Low | 39th | 2.6 of 5 | 2.4 |
| Wildfire | Very Low | 30th | 2.2 of 5 | <0.01 |
Perils not assessed in Warren County
These perils carry no usable National Risk Index figure for this county, so they are excluded from the scoring rather than scored zero. A zero would claim the peril was assessed and found benign.
| Peril | Why it is not scored |
