From Brazil to Uruguay
When travelling from Brazil to Uruguay: Some of your Brazil plug types fit in Uruguay (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 Uruguay
Uruguay runs on 230V/50Hz with Type C, F, and L sockets.
Grid & history
Uruguay achieved one of the world’s most ambitious renewable transitions, wind, solar, biomass, and hydropower now generate more than 95% of electricity. The country exports surplus to Argentina and Brazil.
Availability
Excellent.
Sockets & hotels
Type F and Type L (Italian) coexist; Type C Europlugs fit both.
Energy mix
Wind + hydro dominate; near-100% renewable.
Practical tips
- A European C/F/L universal adapter is safest.
- Voltage is the standard 230V, and modern chargers handle it without issue.
