Power in Botswana

Botswana, a landlocked country in Southern Africa, has a growing power infrastructure to support its economy and population. Botswana uses Type D, Type G and Type M power plugs. The standard voltage is 230 V and the supply frequency is 50 Hz. Botswana relies heavily on coal for electricity generation, supplemented by diesel and an increasing focus on renewable energy sources such as solar power. While the power grid is generally reliable, occasional outages can occur, particularly in rural areas. Efforts are underway to modernize and expand the grid, with a focus on sustainability and energy security.
