The system has a potential to produce a net of 38kWh per meter of beachfront occupied (worldwide average). Manufacturing cost for a 1MW system is around US$300K and production cost less than 1 cent per kWh. The erection cost of a 1MW S.D.E. station is $300,000 while a comparable station costs $1,500,000 from coal, $900,000 from natural gas, $1,500,000 from solar sources, and $3,000,000 from wind. Using S.D.E. technology, production of electricity is 1 cent/KW/h, compared to 3 cents from coal, 3.5 cents from natural gas, 12 cents from solar energy, and 3.6 cents from wind.
