Electricity of Northern Cyprus – this is what awaits you with KIBRIZ real estate on site

You would like to go on holiday in Northern Cyprus or even buy a property in the north of the island with KIBRIZ? Then, among other things, you should know what to expect when it comes to electricity in Northern Cyprus. Are there the same sockets here as in Germany? How often do power outages occur – and is high power available? We at KIBRIZ answer the most important questions below to help you before you arrive. Information like this is often ignored before arrival, which means that devices brought with you are often unusable.

This electricity from Northern Cyprus is used

In the north of Cyprus, 220 or 240 volt electricity is used. It is a 50 Hertz power grid. British three-pin type G sockets are used. There is also the 3 phase electricity in Northern Cyprus. If, for example, high-voltage connections are required for industry, these can also be installed in Northern Cyprus – so the north of Cyprus basically corresponds to European standards.

What sockets are used for electricity in Northern Cyprus?

Electricity in Northern Cyprus is made accessible using British sockets. The three-pin Type G sockets are also available in Great Britain and do not correspond to the sockets we are used to in Germany. It is therefore to be expected that an adapter will be needed for your own household or care devices when traveling or moving. A Skross Pro universal plug can be easily carried with you when traveling and serves as a solution if, for example, your own charger does not fit into the Northern Cypriot socket.

What is the supply like in hotels – is an adapter needed?

If you are staying in a hotel while enjoying your vacation, you should ask in advance about the available electrical outlets. Because: KIBRIZ has so far found that in addition to the British plugs, hotels also have alternatives according to German standards available in some rooms. This means you don’t necessarily have to use an adapter and you can potentially save yourself having to buy one. If you would like German plugs in your Northern Cyprus property from KIBRIZ, you can address this. However, replacing it is not recommended, as electrical devices sold here usually have three-pin plugs.

Should we expect power outages when it comes to electricity in Northern Cyprus?

Although there were occasional power outages in Northern Cyprus a few years ago, Northern Cyprus’ electricity is now more reliable and consistent. Power outages are rarely expected, which can happen during a storm, for example. As a rule, this does not occur because local systems have also been modernized and improved.
