And he was very glad to see that wind farms in the major areas of the country were all in good condition. Meanwhile he said that to develop new energy resources was the nation s significant measure which is applied to energy saving and emission reduction as well as an actively response to the climate change.

The nation had issued many policies to support the development of new energy resources. In Jiuquan, Gansu, there were abundant wind power resources. At present, the development of the wind power in this area had formed certain scale and laid a good foundation for the future development. The wind power enterprises should continue to do a good work on innovation in order to make good exploitation and use of the wind power resources in this area.

As a result, they could make more contribution in the process of the great development of China.

Yumen Wind Farm is the first model wind farm in Gansu developed by Guodian Longyuan. It is 12km away from the east of the New Urban District of Yumen and it is located in the middle part of the Hexi Corridor. In 1997, 4 sets of 300 KW Wind turbines were imported from Nortank Company of Demark with the total installation of 1.

2 MW. During the period of 2000 to 2007, the company finished its expanded project of Phase 3 and technological transformation project successively. Besides, Yumen Wind Farm was the pioneer wind farm which used the first group of 600 KW wind turbines made in China. Till now, the wind farm has put 142 sets of wind turbines into production with the total installed capacity of 110 MW.

It is listed into the Wind Power Industrial Zone which is one of the Five Major Industrial Zones of Yumen and it plays a demonstrative role in the field of wind power industry. According to the plan, the Double-circuit 750 KV Transmission and Transformation Project in the Hexi Corridor of Gansu will be put into production by the end of this year and till then the pressure of power transmission will be greatly reduced.

The new installed capacity of 500 MW will be put into production in Jiuquan of Gansu by China Longyuan this year and it will reach 910 MW by the end of the same year. As a result, the wind farm will keep its leading position in Gansu.
