From Antigua and Barbuda to Netherlands
When travelling from Antigua and Barbuda to Netherlands: None of your Antigua and Barbuda plug types fit in Netherlands. You will need a travel adapter. Voltage is different (110V / 220V → 230V). Check your charger label; if it doesn’t list 230V you’ll also need a voltage converter. Frequency differs (60Hz → 50Hz). Modern phone and laptop chargers are usually fine, but some clocks, motors, and appliances may behave incorrectly.

About electricity in Netherlands
The Netherlands runs on 230V/50Hz with Type C and F (Schuko) sockets, the standard across continental Europe.
Grid & history
Coal is being phased out, with offshore wind in the North Sea and rooftop solar as the growth areas. Natural gas was historically dominant but has been in steep decline since the Groningen field’s closure.
Availability
The Dutch grid is among the most reliable in the world.
Sockets & hotels
Type F (Schuko) is the standard everywhere, and Type C plugs slot in directly.
Energy mix
Offshore wind is the fastest-growing source.
Practical tips
- A European C/F adapter is all you need.
- NS trains have power sockets in most carriages.
