What the sockets look like
Power in Ireland
Ireland, an island nation in Northwestern Europe, is known for its lush landscapes and strong commitment to renewable energy. Ireland uses Type G power plugs. The standard voltage is 230 V and the supply frequency is 50 Hz. Ireland's power generation is increasingly dominated by wind energy, supported by natural gas, as the nation transitions away from fossil fuels. The electricity grid is generally reliable, with minimal outages and a focus on sustainability. This makes Ireland a leader in green energy innovation within the European Union.
