The Republic of the Congo is a Central African nation bordered by Gabon, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The country primarily uses power plug types C and E, which are compatible with most European devices. The standard voltage in Congo is 230V, and the frequency is 50Hz, aligning with European standards. Major sources of power generation include hydroelectricity, which leverages the Congo River's vast potential, and thermal power plants. While urban areas enjoy relatively stable power supply, rural regions often face challenges with grid reliability and access to electricity. Ongoing infrastructure developments aim to improve the overall reliability and reach of the power grid across the country.
