Elektrociepłownia Nowa Sarzyna is a 116 MW gas-fired power plant located in Poland, operated by Polenergia Elektrociepłownia Nowa Sarzyna Sp. z o.o. The facility was commissioned in 2000 and serves as a part of Poland's energy infrastructure. This plant ranks as the 18th largest gas plant in Poland. With a capacity of 116 MW, it represents 2.32% of Poland's total gas capacity of 4,994 MW. Poland has 27 gas plants with a combined capacity of 4,994 MW. Compared to the largest gas plant, Łęg Cogeneration and power plant at 480 MW, Elektrociepłownia Nowa Sarzyna is approximately 24.2% the size. Gas plays a vital role in Poland's energy mix, contributing to the transition from coal-based generation. The country is working towards increasing its gas capacity to diversify its energy sources. The plant is located approximately 100 km northeast of Rzeszów in the southeastern region of Poland.

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.
