From French Polynesia to Indonesia
When travelling from French Polynesia to Indonesia: Some of your French Polynesia plug types fit in Indonesia (C). Bring a compact adapter for the others. Voltage matches at 230V, so a basic plug adapter is enough for most devices. 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.
