The French Southern Territories, located in the southern Indian Ocean, consist of several remote islands and territories, including the Kerguelen Islands and Crozet Islands. The power infrastructure in these territories is designed to meet the needs of small research stations and scientific outposts. The primary power plug types in use are Type C and Type E, which are standard in France and many European countries. The electrical system operates at a voltage of 230V and a frequency of 50Hz, consistent with European standards. Power generation relies heavily on diesel generators, supplemented by emerging renewable energy sources such as solar and wind. Due to the remote location and challenging environmental conditions, the power reliability is moderate, with occasional disruptions that require careful management and backup systems.
