General Information » Facts & Figures » Electricity & Water

Electricity and water are provided by the state-operated corporation, Kahramaa. The electric supply operates at 220–240 volts and 50 Hz. As both old and new construction still exist in the capital, both two and three-pin plug mains are found, but adapters are available in most supermarkets and other corner shops. Most people tend to drink bottled water either purchased from grocery stores or delivered in large bottles for a water dispenser. Kahramaa also offers online services such as bill payment and account balance at either www.kahramaa.com.qa or via the Qatar e-government website, www.e.gov.qa.
