Weather peril exposure
O H HUTCHINGS is a partly retired 447 MW coal power plant in Montgomery County, OH, operated by DAYTON POWER & LIGHT CO. Montgomery County carries elevated modeled catastrophe exposure in the FEMA National Risk Index, scoring 2.7 of 5 at the 41st national percentile. Heat wave is the leading peril, rated Relatively Moderate by FEMA at the 86th 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.
