As it is compared to the other resources such as coal  31% , hydraulic  power  24% , wind  6% , geothermal energy  2%  and from other sources  3% , natural gas  still occupies the highest place in electricity production.  The efficiency of the natural gas-fired power plants should be raised while the harmful effects of the exhaust gas emissions should be decreased. In this study, a natural gasfired gas turbine power plant that produces electricity in a private factory in the city of  Çorum-Turkey was analysed at increasing environment temperatures of -2.7 °C to 7.5 °C  based on the exergy destruction.  The gas turbine data related to the operating conditions was provided by the private  company. A computer code was improved with EES  Engineering Equation Solver  software to perform the exergy destruction analyses of the elements of the gas turbine cycle  such as compressor, combustion chamber, turbine, boiler and economizer. At increasing  environment temperatures of between -2.7 ° C and 7.5 ° C, it was found that the exergy  destructions of the compressor, turbine, combustion chamber, boiler and economizer decreased. The maximum exergy destruction happened in the boiler and the minimum one  happened in the combustion chamber.</p></abstract>
