What the sockets look like
Power in Turkey
Turkey is a transcontinental country located mainly on the Anatolian Peninsula in Western Asia, with a smaller portion on the Balkan Peninsula in Southeast Europe. Turkey uses Type C and Type F power plugs. The standard voltage is 230 V and the supply frequency is 50 Hz. Major sources of power generation include hydroelectric, coal, and natural gas, reflecting Türkiye's diverse energy portfolio. The power infrastructure is generally reliable, with a well-developed grid that supports both urban and rural areas. Efforts are ongoing to enhance sustainability and integrate more renewable energy sources into the system.
