Power in Venezuela

Venezuela is a South American country located on the northern coast of the continent, bordering the Caribbean Sea. Venezuela uses Type A and Type B power plugs. The standard voltage is 120 V and the supply frequency is 60 Hz. Hydroelectric power is the dominant source of electricity generation, largely due to the Guri Dam, one of the largest hydropower plants in the world, supplemented by thermal power generation using oil and natural gas. While the power infrastructure has historically been robust, in recent years, it has faced challenges due to underinvestment, maintenance issues, and political instability, leading to occasional blackouts and reduced reliability. Despite these challenges, efforts are ongoing to modernize and stabilize the grid to ensure consistent power supply across the country.
