Papua New Guinea is an island country located in the southwestern Pacific Ocean, known for its cultural diversity and rugged terrain. The country primarily uses Type I power plugs, which are also common in Australia and New Zealand. The standard voltage is 240V, and the frequency is 50Hz, which is consistent with many other countries in the region. Major sources of power generation include hydroelectricity and diesel, with hydro being the dominant renewable energy source. However, the power infrastructure is limited, particularly in rural and remote areas, leading to unreliable electricity supply in many regions. Efforts are ongoing to improve grid reliability and expand access to electricity across the country.
