STF postcard no 8 – The upper power plant at Knäred
The construction of the upper electrical power plant was compeated 1910. This also was the “birthyear” for Sydkraft, today Eon.
Several of the waterfalls in Lagan was still not converted to power plants when the upper one in Knäred was compleated. E.g., the maity waterfallt Kassefors/Karsefors was still streaming.
How Kassefors/Karsefors looked at that time you can see on
STF-postcard no 12, ”Kasseforsen in Lagan”.

Laholm’s municipality has published the text (this was earlier a link to their site, but this page doesn’t exist any more).
