China Starts Building First 10 GW Mega Wind Farm. By Eadie Chen, Reuters, August 8, 2009. "China started construction of the country's first 10-gigawatt (GW) wind power base in Jiuquan of northwest Gansu province on Saturday as Beijing seeks more clean power to fuel its fast economic growth. China, the world's second-largest energy user, has said it would bring its total wind power capacity to 100 GW by 2020 from the current 12 GW, part of a broad energy target to generate 3% of total electricity from non-hydro renewable energy. To that end, the National Energy Administration (NEA) has planned six 10GW-level wind power bases in areas rich in wind resources such as Inner Mongolia, Gansu, Xinjiang, Hebei and Jiangsu."
