About electricity in Iran
Iran runs on 230V/50Hz with Type C and F (Schuko) sockets.
Grid & history
Iran has the largest oil-and-gas reserves of any country running gas-fired generation; about 90% of electricity comes from gas. The Bushehr nuclear plant adds a small share, with limited renewables.
Availability
Reliable in cities; sanctions-related underinvestment causes summer load-shedding during heatwaves.
Sockets & hotels
Type F (Schuko) standard.
Energy mix
Gas dominates; subsidies depress consumption efficiency.
Practical tips
- A small Type C/F European adapter is all you need.
- Voltage is the standard 230V, and modern chargers handle it without issue.
