From Canary Islands to Yemen
When travelling from Canary Islands to Yemen: Some of your Canary Islands plug types fit in Yemen (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 Yemen
Yemen uses 230V/50Hz with Type C, D, and G sockets.
Grid & history
Yemen’s grid has largely collapsed due to ongoing conflict. Most accessible electricity now comes from rooftop solar and small generators; the public grid operates intermittently where it operates at all.
Availability
Effectively absent in many areas. Rooftop solar is the largest single supply source.
Sockets & hotels
A mix of UK Type G, Indian Type D, and European Type C plugs are in use depending on building era.
Energy mix
Decentralised solar dominates due to grid collapse.
Practical tips
- A universal adapter is essential.
- High-capacity power banks and a small solar charger are practical additions.
