Electricity and sockets
You will need an adapter for Types C and F. Plugs from the UK do not fit the sockets in Uzbekistan.
Sockets at the destination
Types C and F, 230 V, 50 Hz – those are the basics for electricity in Uzbekistan. 230 V means no voltage converter – only the plug shape matters.
The same socket system is used in Türkiye, Azerbaijan, Russia and Indonesia, so one adapter covers all of them. Watch out when moving on: the United Arab Emirates, China and Hong Kong use a completely different system. In Asia, 17 of 50 recorded destinations use exactly this combination.
Protective earth
Uzbekistan has sockets with a protective earth (Type F) and without (Type C). A plug that fits mechanically does not guarantee earthing.

Nothing to worry about electrically: Uzbekistan runs the same supply as home. Check your own device →
The same sockets are used further afield: the Netherlands, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Spain, Ukraine, Belarus and Algeria.
Common questions
Yes, you need an adapter for Types C and F.
The records list Types C and F; the grid supplies 230 V at 50 Hz.
No. At 230 V the supply matches UK and European appliances.
If a socket gets hot, crackles or smells burnt, unplug the device straight away.
