  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:

  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.
