It holds 350MWh and is expected to have a lifetime of 150 years.

Lets do a little arithmetic with conservative values rather than those figures. Assume supplies 200MHw per day, and eventually costs $15B and only lasts 50 years:

    15e9 [$] / (200e3 [kWh/day] * 365 [day/yr] * 50 [yr]) = 0.004 [$ / kWh]

Yep, you right, that added 0.4¢ per kWh for overnight storage is gonna ruin us all for sure. /s
