Ummm - the article said 160,000 litres of diesel.
And this is the capital cost of the plant you are comparing too, so you should add in the cost of the diesel generators too.
I'm sure it still works out to be relatively expensive, but nowhere near as bad as your initial reckoning.
Whoops my mistake - never post with jetlag! ;-)
