Typically petrol refers to gasoline. It can be used in power plants using internal combustion engines to turn generators. However, other plants cannot use it due to it's high volatility and added costs required to store and use it.
More often than not, internal combustion engine power plants use natural gas, diesel fuel or light residual fuel oils for power due to safety and reliability concerns.
Large fossil fuel plant use either natural gas, coal or heavy residual fuel oils, for cost and handling reasons.
