Electricity and sockets
TerritoryYou will need an adapter for Type I. Plugs from the UK do not fit the sockets in Niue.
Sockets at the destination
Niue runs on 230 V at 50 Hz, with sockets following Type I. 230 V means no voltage converter – only the plug shape matters.
You will find identical sockets in Tonga, Papua New Guinea, Kiribati and New Zealand. Nearby but different: Guam, Palau and American Samoa – an adapter for Niue will not fit there. Across Oceania this setup is common: 13 of 18 countries.
Protective earth
Protective earth is standard in Niue; your adapter should carry it through.
