A combined-cycle power plant uses both a gas and a steam turbine
together to produce up to 50 percent more electricity from the same
fuel than a traditional simple-cycle plant. The waste heat from the
gas turbine is routed to the nearby steam turbine, which generates
extra power.

So both types of plants require natural gas as the feedstock. Am I correct?

Yep. At one of my past jobs we installed a co-gen unit.
It was fueled by natural gas I don't remember the output, but it made both electrical power and steam in such savings that the investment paid for itself in 5 years.
