Benin

Benin, located in West Africa, utilizes power plug types C and E, which are common across many European and African nations. The standard voltage in Benin is 220 volts, with a frequency of 50 Hz, aligning with the electrical standards of most neighboring countries. The nation's power infrastructure is primarily supported by hydroelectric and thermal power generation, with significant contributions from the Nangbéto Dam and thermal plants. While urban areas, particularly cities like Cotonou and Porto-Novo, enjoy relatively stable electricity, rural regions often face challenges with power reliability and access. Efforts to improve the grid, including partnerships with international organizations, are ongoing to enhance energy distribution and capacity. Overall, Benin's power infrastructure is moderate, with improvements needed to ensure consistent supply across all regions.
