Summit Barisal 110MW is a 110 MW gas-fired power plant located in Barisal, Bangladesh, operated by Summit Corporation Limited. This facility contributes to the gas power generation landscape of the country. It is the 16th largest gas plant in Bangladesh. With 110 MW, it represents 1.25% of Bangladesh's total gas capacity of 8,767 MW. The country has 27 gas plants with a combined capacity of 8,767 MW. Compared to the largest gas plant, Ashuganj (Aggreko) at 1,649 MW, this facility is about one-sixteenth the size. Gas plays a vital role in Bangladesh's energy mix, providing around 60% of the country's electricity generation. The reliance on natural gas is driven by the country's domestic production and infrastructure. The plant is located approximately 150 km south of Dhaka in the southern region of Bangladesh.

Gas power generation is a significant component of the global energy landscape, characterized by the use of natural gas to produce electricity. This process typically involves either gas turbines or combined cycle gas plants. In a gas turbine, compressed air is mixed with natural gas and ignited, producing high-temperature exhaust gases that spin a turbine connected to a generator. Combined cycle plants enhance efficiency by utilizing both gas and steam turbines. After the gas turbine generates electricity, the waste heat is used to produce steam, which drives a steam turbine, thereby maximizing energy extraction from the fuel.
