I have no idea. There are four vents on the outside of the fireplace ... two at the bottom and two at the top ... I presume that is to circulate the heat into the house.
Just confused as to why there is electric and gas in the fireplace.

That sure looks like it is an appliance specific connection.
There may have been a gas insert in there at one time that
either had an Intermittent Pilot Ignition (IPI) or a blower (or both).
Does the other end go to a receptacle somehere?

Thanks, DAKSY. The cord goes underneath/built into the fireplace and I can't trace it back to any receptacle. However, there is a light switch nearby that doesn't control any lights, so I'm assuming that is what the switch might be for ... I also took a voltage tester to the prongs, but it wasn't going off, even with flipping the switch on and off
