Power outages impacting several cities throughout Albania on Jan. 5. Disruptions likely.
As of late January, power outages had been reported in several cities throughout Albania, including Berat, Vlora, Durres, and Lushnja. Authorities have reportedly attributed the outages to a disconnection in the transmission system. It is unknown for how long the outages will continue.
Disruptions related to the outages are likely, including problems with traffic lights. Operations at air and ground transport terminals could be affected, and business operations may also be disrupted.
Charge mobile and communication devices when possible and ensure backup batteries are available. Plan for road travel delays due to possible malfunctioning or nonfunctional traffic lights in affected areas. Exercise caution when driving in recently impacted areas. Confirm business appointments. Verify that security systems are working. Park vehicles in secure areas, and complete ground movements before nightfall. Ensure that generators are functional and refuel devices where necessary. Reconfirm all transport arrangements.
