Yes. If you can't get to the space behind the wall, you may be able to get the extension nozzle of spray foam can behind the outlet and seal it off. Ideally in new construction you would use spray foam on all wall penetrations like where electric wires pass through studs.

There are gaskets available at DYI stores that can be used to stop air infiltration. These gaskets are installed between the cover plate and the receptacle or wall switch. The gaskets are only needed on outside walls. On new installations use a PVC junction box that is completely sealed. There is a neoprene strip that covers the entry points where the conductors enter the box and are self sealing. On the front of the junction box there is a drywall strip that circles the front of the box. This also has a neoprene strip that seals the box when the drywall is installed up against the strip. The wall vapour barrier is also taped to this strip on the box to make a completely sealed system to prevent drafts entering through the house's outside walls.
