There seems to be a confusion between generating capacity and actual cost of power. In order to get one from the other, you would have to amortize the development cost over a set period of time and then add maintenance costs.

It still seems to be good news but is very confusing. The way it is stated, the installation would pay for itself in a matter of days.

Whatever, I will take it as generically positive news and not sweat the details.
