The Gansu Wind Farm Project or Jiuquan Wind Power Base is a group of large wind farms under the construction in western Gansu province in China (40°12′N 96°54′E / 40.2°N 96.9°E / 40.2; 96.9 40°36′N 96°54′E / 40.6°N 96.9°E / 40.6; 96.9, 40°14′N 97°08′E / 40.23°N 97.13°E / 40.23; 97.13). 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 resources.

The 8 GW of initial planned capacity of this wind farm is similar to that of the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant in Japan, which was the largest nuclear power plant in the world until its closure in 2012.
