From Canary Islands to New Zealand
When travelling from Canary Islands to New Zealand: None of your Canary Islands plug types fit in New Zealand. You will need a travel adapter. Voltage matches at 230V, so a basic plug adapter is enough for most devices. Frequency is the same at 50Hz.

About electricity in New Zealand
New Zealand runs on 230V/50Hz with Type I sockets, the same standard used in Australia.
Grid & history
Around 80% of New Zealand’s electricity comes from renewables. Most of that is hydropower, with significant geothermal in the central North Island and growing wind. The country has no nuclear power.
Availability
Supply is reliable nationwide, though South Island winter storms can cause brief outages.
Sockets & hotels
Type I has two flat angled blades plus an earth pin below. Plugs are physically and electrically interchangeable with Australian Type I.
Energy mix
Hydro and geothermal dominate.
Practical tips
- An Australian or NZ Type I adapter works in both countries.
- Voltage is 230V, so standard chargers are fine.
