That would benefit from various subsidies; from the article it _looks_ like the $54/MWh projected figure is before subsidy.

Subsidies would be useful in getting it from $108/MWh to $54/MWh faster, but they don't change the underlying physics of the technology.

Sorry, what I mean is that the $48/MWh figure benefits from significant subsidy; it's not a realistic cost of provision.
