From Cuba to South Sudan
When travelling from Cuba to South Sudan: None of your Cuba plug types fit in South Sudan. You will need a travel adapter. Voltage is different (120V → 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 South Sudan
South Sudan runs on 230V/50Hz with Type C, D, and G sockets.
Grid & history
South Sudan has one of the lowest electrification rates in the world, most of the population has no grid access. Diesel generators and emerging solar mini-grids serve those that do.
Availability
Mostly off-grid. Juba and a few towns have intermittent grid supply.
Sockets & hotels
Mix of Type C, D, and G.
Energy mix
Mostly off-grid; mini-grid solar growing.
Practical tips
- A universal adapter is essential because outlet types vary by building.
- A high-capacity power bank is essential because outages are routine.
- Voltage on generators can be unstable. Use a surge protector.
Frequently asked questions
- Will my Cuba plug work in South Sudan?
- No. None of your Cuba plugs (Type A, Type B) fit in South Sudan sockets (Type C, Type D, Type G), so you will need a travel adapter.
- What plug type does South Sudan use?
- South Sudan uses Type C, Type D, Type G. The supply is 230V at 50Hz.
- Do I need a voltage converter for South Sudan when travelling from Cuba?
- South Sudan runs on 230V, while Cuba uses 120V. Check your charger label for a 100 to 240V rating; if it does not list 230V you will also need a voltage converter.
- Is the electrical frequency in South Sudan the same as Cuba?
- Frequency in South Sudan is 50Hz, while Cuba uses 60Hz. Modern phone and laptop chargers handle either, but clocks, motors, and some heating appliances may behave incorrectly.
