Plug Type and Travel Adapter Guide for Greenland

Plug types used in Greenland

Greenland uses 4 plug types: Type C, E, F and K. Of these, Type E, F and K are not used in India, so you'll need a travel adapter for those sockets.

Type C

Type C: Uses two parallel, round pins.

Type E

Type E: Two round pins with a grounding hole.

Type F

Type F: Two round pins, grounding hole, grounding clips.

Type K

Type K: Two round pins, one semi-round pin.

Main Voltage in Greenland

Do I Need a Voltage Converter in Greenland?

Greenland runs on a main voltage of 230 volts at a frequency of 50 Hz. This is effectively the same as India's 230V/50Hz. You can plug any Indian device into a Greenland socket without a voltage converter, as long as the plug shape fits.

Will my Indian charger work in Greenland?

Yes, but it depends on which socket your hotel has. Greenland uses Type C, E, F and K sockets at 230V/50Hz. Your Indian phone and laptop chargers are dual-voltage (the label reads 100–240V), so they handle Greenland voltage without any issue. The only question is plug shape — your Indian plug fits Type C sockets directly, but will not fit Type E, F and K sockets without an adapter. You do not need a voltage converter — Greenland's 230V is the same as India's 230V.
