Kiribati is a Pacific island nation located in the central Pacific Ocean, comprising 33 atolls and reef islands. The country primarily uses Type I power plugs, which are common in Australia and New Zealand. The standard voltage is 240V, with a frequency of 50Hz, aligning with many other countries in the region. Power generation in Kiribati heavily relies on diesel fuel, as the country lacks significant natural resources for large-scale renewable energy projects. The power infrastructure is moderate in reliability, with occasional outages due to the challenges of maintaining equipment across its dispersed islands. Efforts are ongoing to improve energy efficiency and explore renewable energy sources such as solar power to enhance sustainability and reduce dependency on imported diesel.
