From Svalbard and Jan Mayen to Lesotho
When travelling from Svalbard and Jan Mayen to Lesotho: None of your Svalbard and Jan Mayen plug types fit in Lesotho. You will need a travel adapter. Voltage matches at 230V, so a basic plug adapter is enough for most devices. Frequency is the same at 50Hz.

About electricity in Lesotho
Lesotho uses 230V/50Hz with Type M sockets, the larger Southern African three-round-pin.
Grid & history
LEC supplies the country from the Muela hydropower plant (part of the Lesotho Highlands Water Project) plus imports from South Africa.
Availability
Reliable when South African supply is stable; affected by South African load-shedding.
Sockets & hotels
Type M (large) is standard. Type C Europlugs do NOT fit Type M sockets without an adapter.
Energy mix
Hydropower-dominated.
Practical tips
- A Type M adapter is essential.
- Voltage is the standard 230V, and modern chargers handle it without issue.
