Electricity in Albania
Electricity in Albania
Officially 220V 50Hz. Outlets are the European standard CEE-7/7 or the compatible, but non-grounded, CEE-7/16 "Europlug" types. Generally speaking, U.S. and Canadian travellers should pack an adapter for these outlets if they plan to use North American electrical equipment in Albania.
Unexpected power outages without prior warnings are common in Albania. This is largely dependent on the amount of rainfall the country receives in any given year, as virtually all of electricity is generated from hydro plants in Albania. However this is becoming more and more rare. Most hotels and restaurants in Tirana have back-up generators, however it is best to err on the side of the caution and ask?both in the capital and elsewhere?whether the place has a generator or not beforehand in order not to, say, get stuck in an elevator.
