From Kenya to Malaysia
When travelling from Kenya to Malaysia: Good news: all your Kenya plug types fit in Malaysia. Voltage is different (240V → 230V). Check your charger label; if it doesn’t list 230V you’ll also need a voltage converter. Frequency is the same at 50Hz.

About electricity in Malaysia
Malaysia runs on 230V/50Hz with Type G, the British three-pin socket.
Grid & history
Natural gas and coal dominate generation, with hydropower from Sarawak supplying the eastern (Borneo) grid. Solar is growing under government incentive programs (NEM).
Availability
Supply is reliable in Kuala Lumpur and tourist areas. Rural Borneo and the east coast can see occasional outages.
Sockets & hotels
Type G is standard, and UK plugs fit perfectly.
Energy mix
Hydro is the largest renewable.
Practical tips
- A Type G adapter is essential for non-UK plugs.
- Voltage is 230V, so modern chargers handle it.
