Gardabani OCGT Power Plant is a 110 MW gas-fired power plant located in Georgia. It is one of the three gas plants in the country and contributes to its energy generation. The commissioning year is not specified. Gardabani ranks as the 3rd largest gas power plant in Georgia. With a capacity of 110 MW, it accounts for 8.8% of the total gas capacity of 1,250 MW in the country. Georgia has three gas plants with a combined capacity of 1,250 MW. Compared to the largest gas plant, the Gardabani Thermal Power Plant at 840 MW, this facility is approximately one-seventh the size. Natural gas plays an increasingly important role in Georgia's energy mix, providing a flexible and reliable source of electricity. The country is working to diversify its energy sources, with gas contributing to about 20% of total electricity generation. Gardabani OCGT is located in the eastern part of Georgia, approximately 20 km from Tbilisi.

Gas Power Generation: An Overview of Its Mechanisms, Benefits, and Future Prospects
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.
