Voltage: 230 volts
Frequency: 50 Hz
Ghana uses Type G plugs (three rectangular pins in a triangular pattern, used in UK/Ireland). Some older buildings may have Type D (three circular pins).
Visitors from North America will need voltage converters (230V to 110V) for appliances, plus Type G adapters. European devices typically work fine with just an adapter. Power adapters are widely available at Kotoka Airport and electronics shops.
Power outages ("dumsor" - literally "on/off") can occur during peak hours. Keep devices fully charged. Hotels and businesses have generators. Power is generally stable in central Accra but less reliable in other areas.
Most accommodations have USB charging ports and adapters available. Battery banks are useful for mobile devices. Some cafes and restaurants provide free charging.
