Forces Elèctriques d'Andorra (English: Andorran Electric Forces, FEDA) is the company in charge of Andorra's electricity supply.

The FHASA was known for the construction of the power plant in Engordany and the CG-1, as well as the FHASA strikes of 1933[4] which won universal male suffrage for Andorrans, until then limited to heads of household.[5] The only three general strikes in the history of Andorra were all staged by the workers of the FHASA.[6]
