From Mexico to Mozambique
When travelling from Mexico to Mozambique: None of your Mexico plug types fit in Mozambique. You will need a travel adapter. Voltage is different (127V → 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 Mozambique
Mozambique uses 230V/50Hz with Type C, F, M, and N sockets.
Grid & history
The Cahora Bassa hydroelectric dam on the Zambezi is Mozambique’s largest source, much of it exported to South Africa. Coal and gas fill the rest.
Availability
Reliable in Maputo; rural areas variable.
Sockets & hotels
Mix of European Type C/F and Southern African Type M/N. Bring a universal adapter.
Energy mix
Hydro-dominated; major exporter.
Practical tips
- Universal adapter covering C, F, M, and N is safest.
- Voltage is the standard 230V, and modern chargers handle it without issue.
Frequently asked questions
- Will my Mexico plug work in Mozambique?
- No. None of your Mexico plugs (Type A, Type B) fit in Mozambique sockets (Type C, Type F, Type M, Type N), so you will need a travel adapter.
- What plug type does Mozambique use?
- Mozambique uses Type C, Type F, Type M, Type N. The supply is 230V at 50Hz.
- Do I need a voltage converter for Mozambique when travelling from Mexico?
- Mozambique runs on 230V, while Mexico uses 127V. 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 Mozambique the same as Mexico?
- Frequency in Mozambique is 50Hz, while Mexico uses 60Hz. Modern phone and laptop chargers handle either, but clocks, motors, and some heating appliances may behave incorrectly.
