Except 400MW is peak output, for a very brief period of time in summer at midday. Uses Bownesian's numbers for actual math. Let's average 130 summer, and 30 winter, so it's 80MW for $500 million=224MW. Even though in the winter we still need power from somewhere, which means still building conventional power, but we will ignore that, because it seems to be what everyone does...
