If there was an omnidirectional radio transmitter at Proxima Centauri, how powerful would it have to be for us to detect it with current technology? Would it even be detectable over the radio noise from Proxima?

A 500kW transmitter 4 light years away would be received at about 10-28 watts/sq. meter.   

They are trying now to detect aurora signals from exo-planets.  AFAIK it hasn't happened yet.  That's not how any exoplanets were discovered.
