Weather peril exposure
SHAWVILLE is a 632 MW coal power plant in Clearfield County, PA, operated by NRG REMA LLC, commissioned in 1954. Clearfield County carries low modeled catastrophe exposure in the FEMA National Risk Index, scoring 1.2 of 5 at the 5th national percentile. Strong wind is the leading peril, rated Relatively Moderate by FEMA at the 65th 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.
