From Northern Ireland to Taiwan
When travelling from Northern Ireland to Taiwan: None of your Northern Ireland plug types fit in Taiwan. 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 Taiwan
Taiwan is 110V/60Hz with Type A and B sockets, same standard as the United States and Japan.
Grid & history
Taipower operates the grid, which depends heavily on imported gas and coal. Nuclear has been phased down following a 2025 policy shift; solar and offshore wind in the Taiwan Strait are growing.
Availability
Reliable nationwide. Typhoon season can cause regional outages.
Sockets & hotels
Type A (ungrounded) is common in older buildings; Type B (grounded) is standard in newer construction and hotels.
Energy mix
Nuclear share declining; renewables scaling.
Practical tips
- US plugs fit Taiwanese sockets directly, no adapter needed.
- Voltage is 110V. European 230V-only appliances need a step-up converter.
