PLTG Belawan TTF is a 105 MW gas-fired power plant located in Indonesia, operated by PLN / KITSUMBAGUT. The plant generates electricity using natural gas, contributing to Indonesia's overall energy supply. This facility ranks as the 50th largest gas plant in Indonesia. With a capacity of 105 MW, it accounts for 0.22% of the country's total gas capacity of 48,764 MW. Indonesia has 69 gas plants with a combined capacity of 48,764 MW. Compared to the largest gas plant in Indonesia, the Paiton Power Station at 4,608 MW, PLTG Belawan TTF is approximately one-twentieth the size. Natural gas plays a significant role in Indonesia's energy landscape, providing a cleaner alternative to coal. The country is working to increase the share of gas in its energy mix to reduce emissions. The plant is located approximately 20 km from Medan in North Sumatra province.

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.
