From French Polynesia to Kosovo
When travelling from French Polynesia to Kosovo: Some of your French Polynesia plug types fit in Kosovo (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 Kosovo
Kosovo is 230V/50Hz with Type C and F (Schuko) sockets.
Grid & history
Kosovo’s grid is almost entirely lignite-coal-fired (Kosovo A and B plants), making it one of Europe’s highest-emitting per capita. Limited renewables; transition is slow.
Availability
Generally reliable in Pristina; rural areas can see outages.
Sockets & hotels
Type F (Schuko) standard.
Energy mix
Lignite-coal dominated.
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.
