“By organizing this edition, Distribuție Oltenia confirms not only its strategic role in Romania’s energy infrastructure, but also its commitment to the continuous development of professionals in the field. The company manages the distribution network in seven counties in the south of the country.

Field Energy: Competition and Passion for Performance
The Electrician’s Trophy, initiated in 1977 and resumed in 1995, is the longest-running professional competition in the Romanian energy sector. Under the concept of “Field Energy”, this year’s edition parallels the team spirit and coordination of electricians with that of football players: two worlds united by the same determination and desire to excel.
The official opening ceremony took place on July 8 at the Oltenia Craiova Philharmonic, with the theoretical and practical competition tests taking place on July 8, 9 and 10 in different locations.
