Power Stations
Natural gas, coal and oil are non-renewable energy sources that play a key role in the region’s electricity production. Power stations utilize advanced technologies and proven methods to generate power efficiently while actively working to minimize environmental impact.

How Natural Gas Creates Electricity
We use a combustion turbine plant to transform the natural gas into electricity.
- The combustion of natural gas forces turbine blades to spin.
- The spinning turbine is attached to a generator, which produces electricity.
- In a combined-cycle plant, exhaust heat is used to create steam. The steam turns an additional turbine and generator to produce more electricity.
- Steam is cooled in a condenser by water from a nearby river or lake. The condensed water returns to the plant and the cycle is repeated.
