About electricity in Ghana
Ghana is 230V/50Hz with Type G sockets, the British three-pin standard.
Grid & history
The Akosombo Dam on the Volta River has been Ghana’s backbone for decades, supplemented by gas and increasingly solar. Like Nigeria, Ghana has experienced periods of severe load-shedding ("dumsor") when generation falls short.
Availability
Reliable in Accra and tourist hubs but occasional load-shedding can occur, especially during droughts that affect Akosombo.
Sockets & hotels
Type G is universal.
Energy mix
Hydropower historically dominant; gas growing.
Practical tips
- A Type G adapter is essential for any non-UK plug.
- Many hotels have generator backup for dumsor periods. Verify with your accommodation.
- Bring a power bank because outages are common.
