The Electrician’s Trophy is the most complex professional competition in the energy field in Romania, preceding the Energetician’s Day, celebrated on July 20, by Saint Elijah, the protector of these professionals, established as such by Decree nr. 507/1972. The history of this competition begins in 1977 in Iași, where the first edition took place. Since then, the competition has been held every year until the pandemic. After three years of break, E-Distributie resumed organizing this prestigious event in Timișoara, a city that in 2023 is also European Capital of Culture. Generations of specialists have faced each other in theoretical, practical or public tests, demonstrating their professionalism.
