TPP of the PGU "GSR Energo" is a 110 MW gas-fired power plant located in Russia, operated by JSC "GSR CHP" since its commissioning in 2014. The facility contributes to the country's gas-fired power generation capacity. This plant ranks as the 181st largest gas plant in Russia. With a capacity of 110 MW, it represents approximately 0.08% of the total gas capacity of 139,541 MW in the country. Russia has 299 gas plants with a combined capacity of 139,541 MW. The largest gas plant, Surgutskaya GRES-2, has a capacity of 8,865 MW, making TPP of the PGU "GSR Energo" about one-eighty-first its size. Gas is a dominant fuel source in Russia, providing around 50% of the electricity generation. The TPP of the PGU "GSR Energo" utilizes natural gas, which is widely available in the region, enhancing energy security. It is situated approximately 30 km southwest of St. Petersburg in the Leningrad Oblast.

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.
