Power in Colombia

Colombia uses Type A and Type B power plugs. The standard voltage is 110 V and the supply frequency is 60 Hz. Power generation in Colombia is heavily reliant on hydroelectric sources, which account for a significant portion of its electricity production, supplemented by thermal and renewable energy sources. Despite occasional challenges due to geographic and climatic factors, the power grid is generally reliable, especially in urban areas. Rural regions may experience less consistent service due to infrastructure limitations. Overall, Colombia's power infrastructure supports its growing economy while increasingly incorporating sustainable energy practices.

  • 3× USB-C (75 W total) + 2× USB-A
  • Universal AC socket, fused, up to 2000 W

It does not convert voltage. A 120 V appliance still gets 230 V in Europe, whatever adapter you use.

Best for: Phones, laptops, cameras, tablets and anything dual-voltage.
