🇭🇹Power in Haiti.

Haiti operates on the same electrical system as the United States and Canada, using 110V at 60Hz with Type A and B outlets. This means US travelers can plug their devices directly into Haitian outlets without any adapters or voltage converters.

The electrical infrastructure follows North American standards, making it one of the most convenient destinations for US electronics.
