Kladno (TG6) is a 110 MW gas-fired power plant located in Kladno, Czech Republic, operated by Alpiq Group since its commissioning in 1999. The facility also utilizes biomass as a secondary fuel, contributing to the country's energy generation mix. It is the 5th largest gas plant in the Czech Republic. With 110 MW, it represents 5.09% of the country's total gas capacity of 2,159 MW. The Czech Republic has 8 gas plants with a combined capacity of 2,159 MW. Compared to the country's largest gas plant, Počerady at 840 MW, Kladno (TG6) is approximately 13% the size. Natural gas plays a significant role in the Czech Republic's energy landscape, providing about 20% of the total electricity generation. The country is working towards increasing the share of renewable energy sources, with gas plants like Kladno (TG6) supporting this transition. The facility is located approximately 30 km northwest of Prague.

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.
