My understanding is that most of the turbines installed in the last 10 years are rated 1MW to 2MW. 7MW models are now commercially available. I have seen the General Electric 1.5MW model listed a number of times in wind farm announcements. Unfortunately I have never seen any document listing the most popular model or the current average capacity of a typical turbine.
