SWEATT, a partly retired 137 MW Natural Gas power plant in Lauderdale County, Mississippi. Most of its capacity was retired, most recently in 2016, according to EIA-860.
How SWEATT compares
EIA-860 lists 42 MW still operable at the site (natural gas fired combustion turbine), against the 137 MW recorded for it. Its operator, MISSISSIPPI POWER CO, runs 5 operating plants in Mississippi totaling 3,657 MW. It shares Lauderdale County with one other operating plant, MERIDIAN.
EIA-860 lists 1 generator at the site with 42 MW of nameplate capacity, all natural gas fired combustion turbine technology (this page's HIFLD capacity figure is 137 MW). Net generation was 0.136 GWh in 2024 (a capacity factor under 0.1%).
Grid neighborhood
The closest transmission line found within 10 miles is a 115 kV line owned by MISSISSIPPI POWER CO, under 0.1 miles away. One other operating power plant sits within 25 miles: MERIDIAN (9 MW, Oil).

Weather peril exposure
SWEATT is a partly retired 137 MW natural gas power plant in Lauderdale County, MS, operated by MISSISSIPPI POWER CO. Lauderdale County carries moderate modeled catastrophe exposure in the FEMA National Risk Index, scoring 2.5 of 5 at the 38th national percentile. Tornado is the leading peril, rated Relatively High by FEMA at the 86th 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.
Lauderdale County hazard ratings
| Peril | FEMA rating | National percentile | Peril score | Events per year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tornado | Relatively High | 86th | 4.5 of 5 | 0.80 |
| Hurricane | Relatively Moderate | 79th | 4.1 of 5 | 0.11 |
| Lightning | Relatively High | 77th | 4.1 of 5 | 71.6 |
| Earthquake | Relatively Low | 70th | 3.8 of 5 | <0.01 |
| Ice storm | Relatively Moderate | 69th | 3.8 of 5 | 0.85 |
| Strong wind | Relatively Moderate | 60th | 3.4 of 5 | 2.7 |
| Heat wave | Relatively Moderate | 46th | 2.9 of 5 | 10.8 |
| Hail | Relatively Moderate | 40th | 2.6 of 5 | 3.4 |
| Winter weather | Relatively Moderate | 37th | 2.5 of 5 | 2.3 |
| Riverine flooding | Relatively Moderate | 36th | 2.5 of 5 | 2.4 |
