The construction of the world's largest wind farm --- Gansu Jiuquan 10GW Wind Power farm started in the afternoon of August 8, 2009 at Yumen Changma Wind Farm, 160 kilometers away from the city of Jiuquan. The project is expected to form the wind power installed capacity of 5.16GW by the end of the "11th 5-Year Period" and 12.71GW by the end of the "12th 5-Year Period".

Zhang Guobao, Deputy Director of the National Development and Reform Commission and Director of the National Energy Administration, mentioned at the groundbreaking ceremony that China will adopt a strategy of "large farms for the major power grid", build a number of 10GW wind power farms where wind energy resources abound, and create a "Three Gorges Project" of wind power in the air. He said that the Jiuquan wind power farm is a pilot project to be built first among those farms. The approved first-phase project will have the total installed capacity of over 5GW by next year; the second-phase planning and preparatory work are now underway and the total installed capacity is expected to reach 12.71GW by 2015, making the largest wind farm in the world.

Han Junliang, Sinovel Chairman & President noted in his speech representing the equipment suppliers that, among the 3.8GW first-phase franchise projects of the Gansu national 10GW Wind Power farm in 2008, Sinovel was the successful bidder for 1.8GW. As the biggest equipment supplier, Sinovel is obliged to take an active part in the farm construction. Sinovel are confident and capable of providing the state-of-the-art top-quality wind turbines for the farm.

In the morning of August 8, Sinovel and Gansu Provincial Power Investment Corporation signed the procurement contract for the 150MW Wind Power franchise project of the Gansu Jiuquan Wind Power farm Guazhou Ganhekou No.5 wind farm.
