===Energy===
Among Gansu's most important sources of energy are its water resources: the Yellow River and other inland river drainage basins. Gansu is placed ninth among China's provinces in annual hydropower potential and water discharge. Gansu produces 17.24 gigawatts of hydropower a year. Twenty-nine hydropower stations have been constructed in Gansu, capable of generating 30 gigawatts in total. Gansu has an estimated coal reserve of 8.92&nbsp;billion tons and [[Oil reserves|petroleum reserve]] of 700&nbsp;million tons.

There is also good potential for wind and solar power development. The [[Gansu Wind Farm]] project – already producing 7.965GW in 2015<ref name="busitza">{{cite web|title=South Africa's biggest wind farms vs the world|url=https://businesstech.co.za/news/energy/93743/south-africas-biggest-wind-farms-vs-the-world/|publisher=BusinessTech|access-date=22 November 2016|date=22 July 2015}}</ref> – is expected to achieve 20GW by 2020, at which time it will likely become the world's biggest collective windfarm.

In November 2017 an agreement between the [[Chinese Academy of Sciences]] and Gansu government was announced, to site and begin operations of a [[molten salt reactor]] pilot project in the province by 2020.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.cas.cn/yw/201711/t20171110_4621454.shtml |script-title=zh:中科院与甘肃省签署钍基熔盐堆核能系统项目战略合作框架协议----中国科学院 |publisher=[[Chinese Academy of Sciences]] |date=10 November 2017 |language=zh |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171113083737/http://www.cas.cn/yw/201711/t20171110_4621454.shtml |archive-date=13 November 2017 |access-date=13 September 2021}}</ref>
