From French Polynesia to Albania
When travelling from French Polynesia to Albania: Some of your French Polynesia plug types fit in Albania (C). Bring a compact adapter for the others. Voltage matches at 230V, so a basic plug adapter is enough for most devices. 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.
