Saudefaldene is a hydroelectric power company in Sauda, Norway.

It was founded in 1913 to harness hydropower in the Sauda Watershed. Building of power plants started in 1914, and power was delivered from 1919. It was bought by Union Carbide in 1925, but after the national escheat came into effect in 1979 both Saudefaldene and the production company Sauda Smelteverk were bought by Norwegian company Elkem.[1]
