The Gansu Wind Farm Project or Jiuquan Wind Power Base is a group of large wind farms under construction in western Gansu province in China. The Gansu Wind Farm Project is located in desert areas near the city of Jiuquan in two localities of Guazhou County and also near Yumen City, in the northwest province of Gansu, which has an abundance of wind.^[2] In 2015 the complex was operating at below 40% utilization of the current 8 GW with a planned capacity of 20 GW.^[3]^[4] In 2017 the 2,383 km long Jiuquan - Hunan HVDC transmission line entered service connecting the remote complex to the Hunan regional grid allowing full utilization of its generation capacity.^[5] After 4 years of delays, the latest phase of construction was completed, bringing total generation capacity up to 10GW.^[6]
