Distribution fees (PUC/local fees): $25.88/625kWh = $0.04
Compared to this ship:
1000 miles: $41.5 / 1000kWh = $0.04
A full comparison would require knowing what distances NH moves power over, and what other transmission would need to be coupled with one payload from the ship. But I think that this shows the costs may be in the right ballpark. And - having this as an option where lines are not possible (NIMBYism, etc), or in the face of natural disasters, is a huge win.
