From Anguilla to Iceland
When travelling from Anguilla to Iceland: None of your Anguilla plug types fit in Iceland. You will need a travel adapter. Voltage is different (110V → 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 Iceland
Iceland is 230V/50Hz with Type C and F (Schuko) sockets, the standard European setup.
Grid & history
Iceland’s electricity is essentially 100% renewable, about 70% hydropower and 30% geothermal. Cheap green power has attracted aluminium smelting and, more recently, data centres.
Availability
Excellent. Storm-related outages are rare even by Nordic standards.
Sockets & hotels
Type F (Schuko) is the standard. Type C plugs fit Schuko sockets.
Energy mix
Hydropower ~70%, geothermal ~30%.
Practical tips
- A European C/F adapter is all you need.
- For Ring Road trips, a 12V car adapter is more useful than extra wall adapters.
