Summit Power Maona is a 33 MW gas-fired power plant in Bangladesh, operated by Summit Corporation Limited. Commissioned in 2009, it contributes 0.38% of Bangladesh's total gas capacity of 8,767 MW from 27 plants. Ranked #22 of 27 gas plants in Bangladesh, its 33 MW represents a small fraction of the country's gas capacity. The largest gas plant in Bangladesh is Ashuganj (Aggreko) at 1,649 MW, making Summit Power Maona 49.9 times smaller. Nearby plants within 50 km include Ghorasal ST: Unit-3 (861 MW, Gas), Kodda Gajipur (149 MW, Oil), and Gopalganj Peaking (109 MW, Oil). The facility is located in the Munshiganj District, approximately 40 km from Dhaka.

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.
