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.
