Weather peril exposure
CURRANT CREEK is a 567 MW natural gas power plant in Juab County, UT, operated by PACIFICORP, commissioned in 2005. Juab County carries moderate modeled catastrophe exposure in the FEMA National Risk Index, scoring 1.9 of 5 at the 22nd national percentile. Wildfire is the leading peril, rated Relatively Moderate by FEMA at the 99th percentile.
The Bywatts loss layer is calibrated to solar PV hardware, so it is not applied to a natural gas plant. The ratings below are the FEMA National Risk Index county hazard ratings for this location.
