Burkina Faso

Burkina Faso, a landlocked country in West Africa, faces challenges in power infrastructure due to its arid climate and limited resources. The country primarily uses Type C and Type E power plugs, which are standard across much of Europe and parts of Africa. The standard voltage is 220 volts, with a frequency of 50 Hz, aligning with regional norms. Hydroelectric power is a significant source of electricity, complemented by a growing focus on solar energy to harness the abundant sunlight. While efforts have been made to improve grid reliability, frequent power outages remain a concern, particularly in rural areas. Burkina Faso's government continues to invest in renewable energy projects to enhance access and reliability across the nation.
