Malawi

Malawi, a landlocked country in southeastern Africa, relies primarily on hydroelectric power for its energy needs. The nation uses Type G power plugs, which are commonly found in the UK and other former British colonies. The standard voltage is 230V, and the frequency is 50Hz, consistent with many other countries in the region. While hydroelectric power is the backbone of Malawi's energy infrastructure, diesel generators are often used as a supplementary source, especially during dry seasons when water levels are low. The reliability of the power grid is moderate, with occasional outages due to aging infrastructure and fluctuating water levels. Efforts are underway to improve the grid and diversify energy sources to enhance reliability and meet growing demand.
