Power in Madagascar

Madagascar uses Type C, Type D, Type E, Type J and Type K power plugs. The standard voltage is 220 V and the supply frequency is 50 Hz. The power infrastructure in Madagascar relies heavily on hydroelectric generation, supplemented by thermal and, increasingly, solar energy. Despite efforts to improve the grid, power reliability remains moderate, with occasional outages, particularly in rural areas. The government has been investing in renewable energy projects to enhance sustainability and reduce dependency on imported fuel. Overall, while the power infrastructure is improving, challenges in accessibility and reliability persist across the island.
