From recent comments by Andrea Rossi on the Journal of Nuclear Physics it sounds like some changes have been made in the development of the newest version of the E-Cat, which is the E-Cat NGU.
The main difference seems to be that the E-Cat NGU at the moment is being developed as a base 100 W unit, whereas previous versions, as I understand it, were based on multiple units of 10 W.
Rossi has posted a recent photo of a 3 kW unit on the Leonardo Corporation website, and has stated on the JONP that this is comprised of multiple 100 W units. It also appears that they are working to increase the power density of the E-Cat NGU.
Here are some recent Q&As about the changes:

Dear Andrea Rossi,Congratulations on the development of a single 100W NGU modules. A few questions:
1. Does the 3kW unit consist entirely of 100W NGU units plus ancillary circuitry?
2. Can we anticipate the size and volume of a 100W unit to decrease over the previous specifications (i.e., from 7cm x 7cm x 9cm)?
3. Are you planning to demonstrate the 100W NGU unit (not including the EV demonstration)?Andrea Rossi

Steven Nicholes Karels:
1. yes
2. yes
3. yes,
Warm Regards,

Dear Andrea,
thanks for the previous answer; Has the ratio between output power and volume remained the same or has it increased? If yes, by 10?

Giuseppe:
So far is the same, but it will be higher,
Warm Regards,

I did ask whether the 10 W units were going to be discontinued. Rossi replied: “I meant that the basic module for major power will be the 100 W. The 10 W, as described in our data sheet, will be available too.”
