Electricity in the Dominican Republic

The Dominican Republic uses the standard North American electric outlets. Europe to Dominican Republic adaptors can be found here but it's best you get them in your country.

Generally the electricity operates at 110 Volts/60 Hertz (like in North America) but voltage irregularities can be quite common in the Dominican Republic - sometimes providing less, sometimes providing surges of far more. For this reason, expensive appliances and computers should have surge protection if they are going to be used here. Appliances from countries that use more voltage, for example, 220 volts, will require converters or adapters.
