Power and Electricity in Sierra Leone — What to Expect

Load shedding, generators, voltage, adapter types and how to manage power for your Sierra Leone stay.

Load Shedding Reality

Grid power in Sierra Leone (supplied by EDSA) is available for only a portion of each day in most areas. Load shedding typically means 8-16 hours without grid power daily. This is the single most important practical consideration for any stay.

Sockets and Voltage

Sierra Leone uses UK-style three-pin plugs (Type G), 230V, 50Hz. Bring a UK adapter if your devices use other plug types. Most modern laptops and phone chargers are dual-voltage (100-240V) and work without a converter.
