Weather peril exposure
OKLAHOMA WIND ENERGY CENTER is a 102 MW wind power plant in Woodward County, OK, operated by FPL ENERGY OKLAHOMA WIND LLC, commissioned in 2003. Woodward County carries critical modeled catastrophe exposure in the FEMA National Risk Index, scoring 4.5 of 5 at the 88th national percentile. Ice storm is the leading peril, rated Relatively High by FEMA at the 94th percentile.
The Bywatts loss layer is calibrated to solar PV hardware, so it is not applied to a wind plant. The ratings below are the FEMA National Risk Index county hazard ratings for this location.
Woodward County hazard ratings
| Peril | FEMA rating | National percentile | Peril score | Events per year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ice storm | Relatively High | 94th | 4.8 of 5 | 0.78 |
| Hail | Relatively Moderate | 89th | 4.6 of 5 | 7.5 |
| Strong wind | Relatively Moderate | 89th | 4.5 of 5 | 3.5 |
| Wildfire | Relatively Moderate | 88th | 4.5 of 5 | <0.01 |
| Winter weather | Relatively Low | 85th | 4.4 of 5 | 10.3 |
| Heat wave | Relatively Low | 80th | 4.2 of 5 | 6.7 |
| Riverine flooding | Relatively Low | 52nd | 3.1 of 5 | 0.86 |
| Lightning | Very Low | 46th | 2.8 of 5 | 47.5 |
| Tornado | Relatively Low | 43rd | 2.7 of 5 | 0.84 |
