The Virgin Islands, located in the Caribbean, consist of the U.S. Virgin Islands and the British Virgin Islands. The islands primarily use power plugs of Type A and Type B, compatible with standard U.S. electrical outlets. The voltage in the Virgin Islands is 110 volts, with a frequency of 60 Hertz, aligning with the standards used in the United States. Major power generation sources include diesel and, increasingly, solar energy, reflecting a growing shift toward renewable energy. While the power grid is generally functional, occasional outages can occur, particularly during hurricane season. Overall, the power infrastructure is moderate in reliability, with ongoing efforts to improve resilience and sustainability.
