Weather peril exposure
LAUREL HILL WIND is a 69 MW wind power plant in Lycoming County, PA, operated by LAUREL WIND ENERGY LLC, commissioned in 2012. Lycoming County carries low modeled catastrophe exposure in the FEMA National Risk Index, scoring 1.2 of 5 at the 4th national percentile. Riverine flooding 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 wind plant. The ratings below are the FEMA National Risk Index county hazard ratings for this location.
