Central African Republic

The Central African Republic, a landlocked country in Central Africa, faces significant challenges in its power infrastructure. The country primarily uses Type C and Type E power plugs, which are common in Europe and parts of Africa. The standard voltage is 220V, with a frequency of 50Hz, aligning with most European standards. Major power generation relies heavily on hydroelectric sources, supplemented by diesel generators, especially in rural areas. However, the power grid is underdeveloped, leading to frequent outages and unreliable electricity supply. Efforts to improve infrastructure are ongoing, but access to reliable power remains a critical issue for much of the population.
