From Brazil to Albania
When travelling from Brazil to Albania: Some of your Brazil plug types fit in Albania (C). Bring a compact adapter for the others. Voltage is different (127V / 220V → 230V). Check your charger label; if it doesn’t list 230V you’ll also need a voltage converter. Frequency differs (60Hz → 50Hz). Modern phone and laptop chargers are usually fine, but some clocks, motors, and appliances may behave incorrectly.

About electricity in Albania
Albania uses 230V/50Hz with Type C and F (Schuko) sockets.
Grid & history
Albania’s electricity is almost entirely hydropower (the Drin cascade), which makes the country very clean but vulnerable in dry years. Imports rise sharply during drought.
Availability
Reliable in cities. Drought years can stress supply.
Sockets & hotels
Type F (Schuko) is the standard.
Energy mix
Hydropower dominates, vulnerable to drought.
Practical tips
- A small Type C/F European adapter is all you need.
- Voltage is the standard 230V, and modern chargers handle it without issue.
