this one is actually rated at 500KW. The 1MW units are very difficult to get as 1MW and 3MW units are in high demand going into WindFarm deployment.
Our building was built to and is in the certification process for LEED Platinum. It incorporates substantial energy saving technologies. Based on the wind study and the gearing setup on the V39 Vestas we've deployed, the estimated output is 2 to 2.5 times our own facility's power use.
who knows... all goes really well, we might look at putting up a 2nd turbine at 800KW which is now becoming reasonable available.
Also - to add to the prior post I made... I do give kudos to our local representatives and local processors who definitely made the effort to see this through. It's understandably new ground for this area and I fully understand why they were very careful to make sure all was 100% done correctly. If all does go well, it is a template for future local projects of this kind. A real proof of concept.

What is the rated capacity? It's definitely big--a commercial-scale wind turbine not a puny home power version. I'm guessing about 1MegaWatt?
