From Benin to Estonia
When travelling from Benin to Estonia: Some of your Benin plug types fit in Estonia (C). Bring a compact adapter for the others. Voltage matches at 230V, so a basic plug adapter is enough for most devices. Frequency is the same at 50Hz.

About electricity in Estonia
Estonia runs on 230V/50Hz with Type C and F (Schuko) sockets.
Grid & history
Historically dependent on oil shale (a unique fuel that Estonia is one of the only countries to use at scale), the grid is now transitioning toward wind and biomass. Strong interconnects with Finland, Latvia, and the wider Nordic-Baltic synchronous area.
Availability
Excellent.
Sockets & hotels
Type F (Schuko) is the standard.
Energy mix
Oil shale in decline; wind growing.
Practical tips
- A small Type C/F European adapter is all you need.
- Voltage is the standard 230V, and modern chargers handle it without issue.
