I’d be curious what the maintenance costs would be. $200/MW is ruinously expensive, but of course that capital outlay would be amortized over its usable lifetime. Picking some numbers at random, say ongoing costs equivalent to 10% of construction per annum, spread over 20 years, would equate to $30/MW, which puts it on par with the low end for wind and solar (already the cheapest sources), but without the variable output and need for grid storage those entail.
