The installed capacity of China's first massive wind energy base in northwestern Gansu Province reached two GWs. The Jiuquan wind energy base achieved the landmark capacity as China Datang Corporation, one of China's power giants, installed a 200 MW wind energy unit in Yumen City under the jurisdiction of Jiuquan City, said Wu Shengxue, deputy head of Jiuquan's Reform and Development Commission. The wind energy base, which consists of 8 groups of power plants, is planned to be the first of its kind to have a capacity of more than 10 GWs. According to a plan of China's National Energy Administration, its capacity is expected to reach 12.71 GWs in 2015.

The plan included five other wind energy bases of over 10 GW capacity. A wind energy base of 20 GWs and another of 30 GWs are to be built in east and west Inner Mongolia. Two other bases, each having a 10 GW capacity, are respectively planned in eastern Jiangsu Province and northern Hebei Province. One more wind energy base of 20 GWs is to be built in northwestern Xinjiang. China would have a wind energy capacity of more than 100 GWs or 3% of the country's overall consumption by 2020, said Shi Pengfei, deputy president of Chinese Wind Energy Association.

Shandong's provincial Development and Reform Commission has approved the first phase of a RMB 2 billion wind energy project by China Datang Corporation's Shandong subsidiary, Qilu Evening News reported December 22. Datang plans to install 120 wind turbines to give the project a total installed capacity of 200 MW. Shandong Datang also announced that Shandong's provincial Development and Reform Commission has also approved its 49.5 MW windfarm project in Laiyang, Shandong Province. The project covers land of 3.4 hectares and has a total investment of 494.6 million.
