French Polynesia

French Polynesia, an overseas collectivity of France located in the South Pacific, relies on a mix of hydroelectric and diesel power generation to meet its energy needs. The country's power infrastructure operates at a voltage of 230V and a frequency of 50Hz, which is standard for many regions. Travelers to French Polynesia will encounter power plugs of Type A and Type B, commonly used in North America and parts of Asia. The reliability of the power grid is generally good, though remote islands may experience occasional outages due to logistical challenges. Hydroelectric power plays a significant role in reducing reliance on imported fuels, but diesel remains a key source for many smaller islands. Overall, the power infrastructure supports the needs of residents and the tourism industry, which is vital to the local economy.
