From Chile to Belgium
When travelling from Chile to Belgium: Some of your Chile plug types fit in Belgium (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 Belgium
Belgium uses 230V/50Hz with Type C and E sockets, the same French and Belgian standard.
Grid & history
Belgium is in the middle of a nuclear phase-out (delayed several times). Gas, offshore wind, and imports from France and the Netherlands fill the gap.
Availability
Excellent.
Sockets & hotels
Type E (with male earth pin) is the standard. Type C plugs fit but ungrounded.
Energy mix
Nuclear share dropping as reactors retire.
Practical tips
- A small C/E European adapter works for Belgium and France.
- SNCB trains and Thalys/Eurostar have power at the seat.
