Per square cm, yes. So a 230MW power station would take up 10,000,000cm2, or 1,000m2, or a quarter acre, which would power about 75,000 homes.
EDIT: If you look at how big a solar, wind, or tidal plant has to be to produce that power, and it doesn't produce 24 hours a day, the size is quite reasonable. Also, please check my math if you think it may be inaccurate, it very well might be.
Also Thork, really? Aircraft passengers? A thin piece of metal with holes in it stops microwaves from getting out, I think an aircraft hull would do a sufficient job.
