Probably pretty close. The lines are relatively maintenance free once installed. The transformers on a per into basis likely roughly about the same. And since the power stations are located outside the cities the transmission distance for your inner city condo may be longer than the transmission distance from the burbs.
So yes, unless I am missing something getting power two your electrical meter in the inner city has roughly the same cost as getting the power to the burbs.
