South Africa

South Africa, located at the southern tip of the African continent, has a diverse power infrastructure. The country uses power plug types M, C, D, and N, with a standard voltage of 230V and a frequency of 50Hz. Its power generation is heavily reliant on coal, which accounts for the majority of its electricity production, though it is increasingly investing in renewable energy sources like wind and solar. South Africa also has nuclear power as a significant part of its energy mix. While the national grid has historically faced challenges with reliability, ongoing upgrades aim to improve stability. However, load shedding, or planned power outages, remains a common occurrence during peak demand periods.
