No, not exactly. LPP is, in any case not intending to be in either the hardware or servicing side, AFAIK, just licensing and R&D. Let those who are already expert and experienced in the “hands on” areas do their thing, and that will bring them fully onside, plus get the best talent the market can offer immediately available and gaining product knowledge and involvement.

The capital cost of the FF is so low that it would be paid off in a year, maybe less. FF generators are insanely profitable. If you then add the opportunity gains by counting the savings compared to conventional sources, you could hold an existing maintenance/replacement budget constant and double or triple the number of (self-financed) FFs installed each year.

As for fuelling, you’d be hard put to spend $100/annum on each generator. Invisibly trivially negligibly small. Minute and tiny, even. Using currently commercially available product and pricing.

The #1 dominant ongoing cost is servicing and control staff. After the capital cost is retired, about a year or less, it’s almost the whole ball of wax. And, to repeat, these things are ENTIRELY the concerns of the licensees, not LPP.
