Contact several local electrical contractors in your area to get some design build estimates. The size is a small consideration rather the durable type of generator you need that can run as a quiet unit for many years is a problem. The best solution is probably 2 or 3 medium size generators that can be run in a parallel configuration. 5 units to power might be as little as 100 amps each so 500 amps at 240 volts is about a 120KW so 3 units of 40 KW each might be a consideration. Using multiple units will allow maintenance on one unit and not lose power. For prices the electrical contractor in your area will know more about what the labor rates are for this type of project. I will give AWAG that $10,000 per KW is not too far off.
what you need to do is run that generator with a quality diesel engine and you need to get some commercial companies to advise you the power, amps, and you will need to have some time off the line so your refrigeration will need to be of good quality to stay cold for 5/6 hours while people sleep --- or else you need to have an excellent muffler system for that power plant you probably need to figure how to have some farming so you get the farm discount on the fuel .
