Summary/Abstract: The Petroşani „Uzina Electrică” Company was a private enterprise created in the beginning of the XXth century, with the aim of leasing the distribution of electric power produced by the Lonea State Mines’ Power Plant, situated in the north of the Petroşani commune. The electric power bought by the Petroşani „Uzina Electrică” Company from the Power Plant would be used between 1906-1944 for public lighting, but also for electrifying private and public institutions, various enterprises, stores and workshops, and also a steadily-rising number of homes from the Petroşani, Livezeni, Iscroni and Vulcan communes.
