Albania

Name: Albania
Address: AL

Albania has a GDPR-aligned data protection law in force since January 2025 and an EU NIS2-aligned cyber security law, with no compute or data centre programme found.

Law No. 124/2024 on the Protection of Personal Data, described as harmonised with the GDPR, replaced the 2008 law and took effect on 31 January 2025. Law No. 25/2024 on Cyber Security is described as aligned with NIS2 and covers essential and important entities. A National Strategy for Digital Agenda 2022 to 2026 and a National Cyber-Security Strategy 2025 to 2030 are listed by the same source. We found no data centre power rules, compute programme or named facility.

AI policy and activity

The law-firm guide we read lists no dedicated AI law. AI use is described as falling under existing data protection, consumer and competition laws. We did not read the laws themselves.

Power and grid

No data centre was found for Albania in the pages read, and no grid or power rule for large loads was found.

Rules and programmes

Law No. 124/2024 on the Protection of Personal Data Read the cited source	Law	In force from 31 January 2025	Reported. CMS regulation scanner. It says the law replaces Law 9887/2008, is harmonised with the GDPR and Directive 2016/680, requires impact assessments for high-risk automated processing, and strengthens the Data Protection Commissioner's enforcement powers. We did not read the law text or its transfer rules.
Law No. 25/2024 on Cyber Security Read the cited source	Law	In force	Reported. Same CMS guide. It describes alignment with NIS2, covering essential and important entities, incident reporting and risk management, with the National Cyber Security Authority (AKCESK) as regulator. No effective date was given in the page, so it is left null.

Checked on 3 October 2026 and due for review by 1 January 2027.
