From Brazil to Somalia
When travelling from Brazil to Somalia: Some of your Brazil plug types fit in Somalia (C). Bring a compact adapter for the others. Voltage is different (127V / 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 Somalia
Somalia is 230V/50Hz with Type C and G sockets.
Grid & history
There is no unified national grid. Private operators run city- and neighbourhood-level grids on diesel and growing solar.
Availability
Highly variable. Private generators are normal.
Sockets & hotels
Mix of Type C and Type G.
Energy mix
Privately-operated; solar rapidly expanding.
Practical tips
- A universal adapter covering C and G is safest.
- A high-capacity power bank is essential because outages are routine.
