From Svalbard and Jan Mayen to Haiti
When travelling from Svalbard and Jan Mayen to Haiti: None of your Svalbard and Jan Mayen plug types fit in Haiti. You will need a travel adapter. Voltage is different (230V → 110V). Check your charger label; if it doesn’t list 110V you’ll also need a voltage converter. Frequency differs (50Hz → 60Hz). Modern phone and laptop chargers are usually fine, but some clocks, motors, and appliances may behave incorrectly.

About electricity in Haiti
Haiti is 110V/60Hz with Type A and B sockets, the North American standard.
Grid & history
Haiti has the lowest electrification rate in the Western Hemisphere. Most residents have no reliable grid access; diesel generators and solar lanterns are common.
Availability
Very unreliable. Most accommodation has generator backup.
Sockets & hotels
Standard North American sockets where the grid reaches.
Energy mix
Most generation is private/diesel-based.
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.
- A small solar charger is useful.
