From Marshall Islands to Indonesia
When travelling from Marshall Islands to Indonesia: None of your Marshall Islands plug types fit in Indonesia. 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 Indonesia
Indonesia runs on 230V/50Hz with Type C and F sockets, the same plugs used across continental Europe.
Grid & history
Coal dominates Indonesian generation, though geothermal (a huge resource given the volcanic geography) and solar are growing. The grid is fragmented across thousands of islands, and Java and Bali have the largest interconnected system.
Availability
Supply is reliable in Jakarta, Bali, and major cities. Smaller islands and rural areas can see brief outages, especially during the wet season.
Sockets & hotels
Type C is the most common socket, and Type F (Schuko) is increasingly common in newer hotels and shopping centres.
Energy mix
Coal-heavy; geothermal is one of the world’s largest.
Practical tips
- A European C/F adapter is all you need.
- In Bali, mid-range and higher hotels usually have universal sockets accepting several plug types.
- On smaller islands, expect brief outages, so a power bank is useful.
Frequently asked questions
- Will my Marshall Islands plug work in Indonesia?
- No. None of your Marshall Islands plugs (Type A, Type B) fit in Indonesia sockets (Type C, Type F), so you will need a travel adapter.
- What plug type does Indonesia use?
- Indonesia uses Type C, Type F. The supply is 230V at 50Hz.
- Do I need a voltage converter for Indonesia when travelling from Marshall Islands?
- Indonesia runs on 230V, while Marshall Islands 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 Indonesia the same as Marshall Islands?
- Frequency in Indonesia is 50Hz, while Marshall Islands uses 60Hz. Modern phone and laptop chargers handle either, but clocks, motors, and some heating appliances may behave incorrectly.
