Barduelva (also Northern Sami: Álddesjohka) is a river in Troms county, Norway. It runs from the lake Altevatnet and empties into another river, the Målselva. This river is the largest source of hydroelectricity in all of Troms county.
There are three power plants on the river: Innset, Straumsmo, and Bardufoss. Combined, they generate 1,235 gigawatt-hours (4,450 TJ) of power annually. [1]
