1180 MWh; 4.5 billion dollar capex; 2.4ct/kWh opex[1]; 50$/MWh income
yearly power production = 1180MWh * 24 * 365 = 10'336'800 MWh
yearly revenue = power production * 50$/MWh = 516'840'000 USD
yearly costs = power production * 1000 * 0,024$ = 248'083'200 USD
capex / (revenue - costs) = 18 years
Doesn't look like a very interesting investment choice!?
