Andorra Spain 2019 Concession of FHASA
Issue Date 31 May 2019
In the year 1929, 90 years ago, the General Council of Andorra ceded the exploitation of the hydroelectric use of the rivers and lakes of Andorra to the private company Fhasa (Fuerzas Hidroeléctricas de Andorra, SA), with the condition that the company commits itself to the improvement and construction of road infrastructures.
In total, 41 kilometers of roads, three tunnels and eleven bridges were built, in addition to all the infrastructure necessary for the operation of the hydroelectric plant. Fhasa was rescued and nationalized in 1988 by the General Council of Andorra and was reconverted into the current FEDA (Electric Forces of Andorra).
Spanish Andorra Post has issued a special lenticular miniature sheet to commemorate the company that supplies the electricity since 1929. The lenticular sheet helps to illuminate and extinguish the lights of Andorra (one page has the daylight scene of the Andorra Valley while the other shows the lit up night scene of the valley from the same spot.)
