What the sockets look like
Power in Cuba
Cuba uses Type A, Type B, Type C and Type L power plugs. The standard voltage is 110 V and the supply frequency is 60 Hz. The country's power generation primarily relies on oil and natural gas, with a growing emphasis on renewable energy sources such as solar and wind. While efforts have been made to modernize the grid, power reliability remains moderate, with occasional outages due to aging infrastructure and resource limitations. Cuba's energy strategy includes increasing the share of renewables to reduce dependence on imported fossil fuels. Overall, the power infrastructure is functional but faces challenges in meeting peak demand consistently.
