Well, I guess my point is "after 500kW, who cares?". If engineering can be replaced with a single random artifact every time it comes up (who cares if it's 500kW or 5MW?) then it might as well not change.
By lowering the minimum, at least, you mean that there will be ones that don't power the whole station, but may be useful in powering a power-heavy room. If the scale is linear then you'd rarely get one low enough to make a difference.
Gives you:
Peak output then is closer to 5MW (actually 4.33MW, but with a touch more precision you can get it up there, 1.0715 gets it to 4.99MW).

Code:
output = floor (5000 * 1.07 ^ rand(0,100))Gives you:
