INTERNATIONAL PAPER GEORGETOWN MILL, a 96 MW Biomass power plant in Georgetown County, South Carolina.
Weather peril exposure
INTERNATIONAL PAPER GEORGETOWN MILL is a 96 MW biomass power plant in Georgetown County, SC, operated by INTERNATIONAL PAPER CO-GT MILL, commissioned in 1966. Georgetown County carries critical modeled catastrophe exposure in the FEMA National Risk Index, scoring 4.7 of 5 at the 93rd national percentile. Hurricane is the leading peril, rated Very High by FEMA at the 99th percentile.
The Bywatts loss layer is calibrated to solar PV hardware, so it is not applied to a biomass plant. The ratings below are the FEMA National Risk Index county hazard ratings for this location.

Ratings are the FEMA National Risk Index county hazard ratings; the peril score is a Bywatts transform of the FEMA national percentile. Full data sources and the solar vulnerability methodology are in the weather risk calculator.
Modeled estimate for screening and negotiation. Built from FEMA National Risk Index county hazard data and a solar vulnerability layer documented above.
