About This Dataset

Largest Natural Gas Power Stations in the World 2026

The biggest gas-fired power stations in operation in 2026, ranked by installed capacity in megawatts. Most large gas plants are combined-cycle: they run a gas turbine and then reuse its exhaust heat to drive a steam turbine, which is why their efficiency beats coal at similar size.

Analysis

Jebel Ali in the United Arab Emirates is the largest at 8,695 MW, 1.53 times the 5,687 MW of Surgut-2. The 12 stations here total 60,756 MW. 5 of them are in Japan, and 6 countries are represented in total. The smallest on the chart, Phú Mỹ, is rated at 3,900 MW, 45% of the leader.
