From Wallis and Futuna to Germany
When travelling from Wallis and Futuna to Germany: Some of your Wallis and Futuna plug types fit in Germany (C). Bring a compact adapter for the others. Voltage matches at 230V, so a basic plug adapter is enough for most devices. Frequency is the same at 50Hz.

About electricity in Germany
Germany uses 230V/50Hz with Type C and F (Schuko) sockets, the standard across continental Europe.
Grid & history
Germany is in the middle of the Energiewende, a long-running shift from coal and nuclear to wind and solar. The last three nuclear reactors closed in 2023; renewables now cover roughly half of generation, with the rest split between natural gas and (still) coal.
Availability
Highly reliable power in cities and along major routes. Rural outages are unusual.
Sockets & hotels
Type F (Schuko) is standard everywhere; Type C Europlugs fit Schuko sockets without an adapter.
Energy mix
Coal still in the mix; gas filling the gap from nuclear phase-out.
Practical tips
- A small Type C/F European adapter covers Germany and 25+ neighbouring countries.
- Voltage is 230V. Phone and laptop chargers handle it; older 110V US-only appliances do not.
