PLTG Pesanggaran is a 122 MW gas-fired power plant located in Bali, Indonesia, operated by PT. Indonesia Power. The facility generates electricity using natural gas, contributing to Indonesia's overall energy production. It is the 48th largest gas plant in Indonesia. With 122 MW, it represents 0.25% of Indonesia's total gas capacity of 48,764 MW. Indonesia has 69 gas plants with a combined capacity of 48,764 MW. Compared to the country's largest gas plant, Paiton Power Station at 4,608 MW, this facility is approximately 1/38th the size. Natural gas plays a growing role in Indonesia's energy mix, accounting for about 18% of the country's electricity generation. The use of gas helps Indonesia diversify its energy sources and reduce reliance on coal. The plant is situated approximately 25 km from Denpasar, the capital of Bali.

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.
