Weather peril exposure
FIRSTENERGY EASTLAKE is a retired 401 MW coal power plant in Lake County, OH, formerly operated by FIRSTENERGY GENERATION CORP. Lake County carries moderate modeled catastrophe exposure in the FEMA National Risk Index, scoring 2.0 of 5 at the 25th national percentile. Winter weather 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 coal plant. The ratings below are the FEMA National Risk Index county hazard ratings for this location.
