Frequency and voltage supplied to most premises by country. Mains electricity by country includes a list of countries and territories, with the plugs, voltages and frequencies they commonly use for providing electrical power to low voltage appliances, equipment, and lighting typically found in homes and offices.
Saudi Arabia and Mexico have mixed voltage systems; in residential and light commercial buildings both countries use 127 volts, with 220 volts at 60 Hz in commercial and industrial applications. The Saudi government approved plans in August 2010 to transition the country to a totally 230/400-volt 60 Hz system. [7]
This list of countries by electrification rate sorts countries by the share of their inhabitants with access to electricity. Access to electricity is considered one of the prerequisites for a modern life. In 2021, 91.4% of the world population had access to electricity.
This is a list of electric generation, consumption, exports and imports by country. Data are for the year 2021 and are from the EIA. [1] Figures are in terawatt-hours (TWh). Links for each location go to the relevant electricity market page, when available.
Canada, Mexico and the United States all use a 100–127 volt, 60 hertz electrical system, (as do some other central and South American countries), which shares the same physical connectors. Most of Africa, Asia and Europe use a 220–240 volt, 50 hertz electrical system, with a variety of differing physical connectors.
World electric generation by country and source in 2022 [1] This is a list of countries and dependencies by annual electricity production. China is the world's largest electricity producing country, followed by the United States and India. Data are for the year 2022 and are sourced from Ember. [1]
Most of the world uses 50 Hz 220 or 230 V single phase, or 400 V three-phase for residential and light industrial services. In this system, the primary distribution network supplies a few substations per area, and the 230 V / 400 V power from each substation is directly distributed to end users over a region of normally less than 1 km radius.
This list of countries by electric energy consumption is mostly based on the Energy Information Administration. [2] Several non-sovereign entities are also included ...
