What the sockets look like
Power in Cameroon
Cameroon, located in Central Africa, is known for its diverse geography and rich natural resources. Cameroon uses Type C and Type E power plugs. The standard voltage is 220 V and the supply frequency is 50 Hz. Cameroon's power generation is dominated by hydroelectricity, leveraging its abundant water resources, supplemented by thermal power plants. While urban areas generally enjoy relatively stable electricity, rural regions often face challenges with power reliability and accessibility. Efforts are ongoing to expand and modernize the power infrastructure to meet the growing demand across the country.
