bluegen unit producing electricity in melbourn, page-8

The current price for a BlueGen unit including installation is $45,000 for a 2 year contract (the same price given to the Victorian Government for 30 units). After 2 years, users would be able to extend their contract a further 3 years at a cost of around $24,000. Further contracts will be offered after 5 years out to 15 years, with pricing dependent on fuel stack prices. Current BlueGen pricing reflects the small volumes available, and the fact that early units will likely be sold to large customers like energy utilities and Governments.

Great concept, but seriously economies of scale people!

45000 dollars to own the device for two years, and then another 24000 for three years!!!! madness. Call me when total cost of ownership is sub 10K.
