DE Electricity and voltage in Cape Verde
The voltage standard in Cape Verde is 220-230 voltswith a 50Hz frequency.
In Cape Verde, electricity is supplied by the national electricity and water company, Electra. In general, electricity in the country is reliable and stable, but there can be occasional power cuts, especially due to technical problems.
In some of the more remote areas of the country, it is still common to find places that rely on energy generated from solar panels or diesel generators, especially on smaller islands. However, most cities and towns in Cape Verde are served by the national electricity grid.
Sockets in Cape Verde and their adapter
Plugs and socket-outlets in Cape Verde follow the European standard (two pins), and are type C and type F. The type C plug has two parallel round pins, while the type F has two ground clips in addition to the two round pins.
What kind of adapter to use in Cape Verde?
If the voltage of your electronics is similar to that of Cape Verde (220-230 volts), a adapter with C or F plugs is indicated. If, however, the voltage of your appliance is different from that of Cape Verde, you will need a adapter with voltage converter.
