How much will a 100 mega watt transformer cost ?

Question

Round prices are welcomed.

IF anybody knows a company selling such capacities, his help is apreciated.Web sites are prefered.

Answer 1

Well. the ones I tried to track down seem to have no price attached.  Requires contacting the company.

Here's one link which seemed to fit the bill, but they didn't list the ratings:

The article here mentions $2 million/megawatt to rebuild America if this helps:

Answer 2

A 10kW transformer costs $3,266. So, scaling up, a 100MW transformer probably costs around $32.7 million. The larger size will give you a bulk discount on the iron and copper, but a greater cost because of the expensive infrastructure needed to wind it. So the cost probably does scale in a fairly linear fashion.
