From French Polynesia to Venezuela
When travelling from French Polynesia to Venezuela: None of your French Polynesia plug types fit in Venezuela. You will need a travel adapter. Voltage is different (230V → 120V). Check your charger label; if it doesn’t list 120V you’ll also need a voltage converter. Frequency is the same at 60Hz.

About electricity in Venezuela
Venezuela is 120V/60Hz with Type A and B sockets.
Grid & history
The Guri dam on the Caroní river is one of the world’s largest hydroelectric plants and historically provided most of Venezuela’s electricity. Years of underinvestment and drought have caused recurring nationwide blackouts since 2019.
Availability
Unreliable. Nationwide blackouts have occurred repeatedly. Most accommodation has generator backup.
Sockets & hotels
Standard North American sockets.
Energy mix
Hydropower-dominated; chronic underinvestment.
Practical tips
- US plugs fit local sockets directly, so US travellers do not need an adapter.
- A high-capacity power bank is essential because outages are routine.
- The supply matches the US 120V, so US chargers work directly.
