Weather peril exposure
MILLCREEK POWER GENERATION is an 80 MW natural gas power plant in Washington County, UT, operated by CITY OF ST GEORGE, commissioned in 2006. Washington County carries moderate modeled catastrophe exposure in the FEMA National Risk Index, scoring 2.0 of 5 at the 25th national percentile. Wildfire is the leading peril, rated Relatively High by FEMA at the 100th 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.
