Anyway,The numbers look good. i think ill be using the above values (perhaps recalculated sans rounding to be more exact) in Tmaru 1.1.
It assumes the same efficiency for all the power plants, but like you say anything you pick will be somewhat arbitrary and these are all in the ballpark. IMO 11-12k is much preferable to the current 16k across the board. The partol I just finished would have been *tight* on fuel.
