Weather peril exposure
LOWER VILLAGE WATER POWER PROJECT is a 1 MW hydro power plant in Sullivan County, NH, operated by MARLBOROUGH HYDRO CORP, commissioned in 1995. Sullivan County carries low modeled catastrophe exposure in the FEMA National Risk Index, scoring 1.3 of 5 at the 8th national percentile. Riverine flooding is the leading peril, rated Relatively Low by FEMA at the 88th percentile.
The Bywatts loss layer is calibrated to solar PV hardware, so it is not applied to a hydro plant. The ratings below are the FEMA National Risk Index county hazard ratings for this location.
