South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, located in the southern Atlantic Ocean, are remote and uninhabited except for a small number of researchers and staff. The islands primarily use Type C and Type F power plugs, which are common in Europe. The voltage is standardized at 230V with a frequency of 50Hz, aligning with European standards. Power generation is heavily reliant on diesel generators, though there is a growing emphasis on renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, to reduce environmental impact. Given the islands' isolation, the power infrastructure is limited and designed to meet the needs of a small, transient population. Despite these constraints, efforts are ongoing to improve reliability and sustainability while maintaining the islands' pristine environment.
