Weather peril exposure
MOBERLY is a 61 MW oil power plant in Randolph County, MO, operated by UNION ELECTRIC CO - (MO), commissioned in 1978. Randolph County carries moderate modeled catastrophe exposure in the FEMA National Risk Index, scoring 2.5 of 5 at the 36th national percentile. Heat wave is the leading peril, rated Relatively Low by FEMA at the 81st percentile.
The Bywatts loss layer is calibrated to solar PV hardware, so it is not applied to an oil plant. The ratings below are the FEMA National Risk Index county hazard ratings for this location.
