About electricity in Peru
Peru is 230V/60Hz with Type A, B, and C sockets, unusual European voltage at North American frequency.
Grid & history
Hydropower from the Andes provides most of Peru’s electricity, supplemented by natural gas from the Camisea fields and growing solar in the south.
Availability
Reliable in Lima and major tourist areas. Rural Andean and Amazonian areas can see outages.
Sockets & hotels
Hybrid sockets accepting US flat pins (A/B) and European round pins (C) are common in modern buildings. The voltage caught some travellers out, it’s 230V despite the US-shaped plugs.
Energy mix
Hydropower is the largest source.
Practical tips
- US flat-pin plugs fit Peruvian sockets, but the voltage is 230V.
- A 110V-only US hair dryer plugged into a Peruvian outlet will burn out.
- Frequency is 60Hz, unlike most 230V countries.
