The best 27 specialists of the distribution operator Delgaz Grid in nine competition categories, along with three students from partner technical high schools, were awarded at the company stage of the professional competition „Electrician's Trophy 2026”, held on March 24-26 in Iasi.
After two days of theoretical and practical tests, participants demonstrated their skills in the ten specializations of the competition, confirming the high level of professionalism in the field of electricity distribution. The winners will represent the company at the national round in July, also in Iasi.
Over 120 electricians and engineers from Delgaz Grid took part in the competition, selected through a competition among the approximately 1,000 registered at the mass stage of the Trophy, which took place in February.
Ajuns la a X-a ediție, „Trofeul Electricianului Junior”, competiție dedicată viitorilor electricieni, a reunit în acest an câte trei elevi de la Colegiul Tehnic N.V. Karpen din Bacău, Liceul „Dimitrie Leonida” din Iași și Colegiul Tehnic „Samuil Isopescu” din Suceava.
„Într-o lume tot mai dependentă de energie, rolul rețelelor de distribuție și al celor care le operează este esențial. Performanța nu înseamnă doar rezultate în competiții, ci și responsabilitatea zilnică de a asigura continuitatea și siguranța alimentării cu energie. Prin profesionalism, implicare și dorință de perfecționare, colegii noștri demonstrează că excelența este un standard, nu o excepție. Le mulțumesc pentru efortul constant și le doresc mult succes la etapa națională”, a declarat Cristian Ifrim, director general adjunct al Delgaz Grid.
Delgaz Grid's electricians competed in seven specializations: transformer substation operation, medium and low voltage network operation, PRAM (protection and automation), electricity measurement, installation and repair of 110 KV and medium voltage primary equipment in transformer substations, installation and repair of medium and low voltage installations (transformer substations, overhead and underground power lines), defectoscopy of medium and low voltage underground power lines, and engineers in the section of the same name and in the section of distribution energy dispatcher.
Seven electricians from Suceava, five from Bacău, four from Iași, three from Botoșani and one each from Neamț and Vaslui climbed the podium to the applause of their colleagues.
In the specialization of Energy Distribution Dispatcher, the first and second places went to Iasi, and the third place went to Suceava.
In the engineering section, first and second places went to Suceava and third place to Iasi.
In the Junior Electrician's Trophy, the first and second places were won by N.V. Karpen Technical College from Bacău and the third place by „Dimitrie Leonida” High School from Iasi.
As every year, manufacturers of equipment, materials, devices and tools, specific measuring devices, as well as electrical network construction companies with which we collaborate, were present at the event with exhibition stands.
„The ”Electrician's Trophy" is a traditional event, probably the longest-running and largest professional competition in Romania. The 49-year history of the competition began in 1977 and is closely linked to Moldova and the city of Iasi, where the first edition of the competition took place.
