From Montenegro to Iraq
When travelling from Montenegro to Iraq: Some of your Montenegro plug types fit in Iraq (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 Iraq
Iraq is 230V/50Hz with Type C and G sockets. A mix of European and UK standards.
Grid & history
Iraq’s grid is gas-fired and chronically under-supplied, installed capacity exceeds demand on paper, but transmission losses and fuel shortages mean cities still rely heavily on neighbourhood diesel generators.
Availability
Unreliable. Private generators are nearly universal; most hotels and offices have backup. Summer demand from air conditioning often outstrips supply.
Sockets & hotels
Type G (UK-style) is increasingly common in modern buildings; Type C Europlugs work in older outlets.
Energy mix
Gas dominates.
Practical tips
- Universal adapter covering G and C is safest.
- A power bank is essential, outages are routine.
- Use a surge protector when running off generator power.
