A megawatt is not a lot of Horse Power. I would suspect that laboratory levels of LENR power could be as much as several thousand watts without too much difficulty in handling the excess heat. The recent DGT demonstration seemed to be within a reasonable output range.
Locating the nuclear ash will be facilitated by the generation of more power since that should increase the signal to noise for that particular type of measurement. Of course, the ash is one of the main puzzle pieces will be required to finally establish what process is active. I hope that DGT, Rossi and perhaps others experimenting in the field will continue to reveal the clues they uncover such as the large magnetic anomaly recently seen. If all the researchers and companies seeking huge profits keep this information private, then they are the only ones that can cross reference the many clues that will eventually solve the question of how LENR actually functions. As with past discoveries, more applied minds are better when the goal is to advance technology. The secret manner of the past has not worked for many years and it is time for change. Introduction of LENR power is far too important to the world and any additional major delays must be avoided.

Probably not in the long term. Most devices use ~100 W. In the future I expect all power supplies to be self-contained, with no central generation or even household generators. I mean that every light fixture, computer and cell phone will have a thermoelectric generator. The most useful size will be 1 to 100 W. Even early into a cold fusion era there will be few uses for a megawatt generator. Drop-in replacements for coal-burners in electrical power plants looks like a quick win if the ECat-HT can be made self-sustaining via acting cooling control.
