AM tube's power usage is about 1.1W/GH/s (as per sidehack post, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=769570.msg8676189#msg8676189). To cover just the cost of electricity with $1.6 per day per TH/s, they have to get it for less then $0.06/kWh. But I guess that maintenance cost also includes renting space, colling, support,... ?

As Dexter770221 already said, they're most likely using Prismas, not Tubes. This gets us to about $0.08/kWh.
But this indeed assumes that the maintenance fees are used to pay only for electricity to run the miners (not cooling). If it is used to pay for other maintenance costs, they must get pretty darn cheap electricity indeed.
