Bulbucata is a rural commune in the north-west of Giurgiu county, on the Muntenia plain, made up of several constituent villages (among them Bulbucata, Coteni, Facau and Teisori), with scattered households and plots where new houses are gradually appearing. In places like these, the typical situations are not those of the residential developments on the outskirts of the capital, but rather a house built on a parcelled-out piece of farmland, a household replacing an old connection, or an outbuilding or workshop requiring more power. SUN WATT, a firm certified by ANRE for design and execution, travels to Bulbucata and its constituent villages to measure on site the distance between the property and the nearest connection point, because in rural areas the grid does not always reach the property boundary. We take on all the paperwork: we prepare the grid connection request with the required documents, we follow up the issuing of the Technical Connection Approval from Retele Electrice Romania (the distribution operator for the Bucharest-Ilfov-Giurgiu area, formerly E-Distributie Muntenia), we design and install the connection, whether single-phase (230V) for ordinary domestic consumption or three-phase (400V) for high-power equipment, and we prepare the Utilisation Installation Dossier (DIU) up to the fitting of the meter. This way, the owner in Bulbucata is left with a single point of contact, while we handle everything turnkey, from paperwork to pole.
The distribution operator for the area is Rețele Electrice România S.A. (formerly E-Distribuție Muntenia, part of the Enel group), through which all connection requests are filed and the ATR (technical connection approval) is obtained. Being a commune with scattered villages, the common and most economical solution is the overhead connection from the existing pole of the low-voltage network, although in spots where the local network is already buried the underground option may also appear. For a new connection the usual documents required are the urban planning certificate, the proof of ownership or land registry extract, the site plan and the connection request, which we prepare together with the beneficiary. As an indication, from filing the dossier to energisation it takes between 4 and 12 weeks, depending on the operator and the complexity of the work.
Services available in Bulbucata
Single-phase connection
A single-phase electrical connection (230V) is the standard supply for homes with typical consumption, usually approved up to around 11 kW. SUN WATT, an ANRE-certified company, handles the entire process from start to finish, with 2026 prices starting from 1,800 lei. The timeline from file submission to energisation is typically 4-12 weeks, with the final cost confirmed through the ATR (Technical Connection Approval).
Three-phase connection
A three-phase electrical connection (400V) is needed for high consumption or powerful equipment such as heat pumps, workshops, machine tools or EV charging stations. SUN WATT, an ANRE-attested firm, handles the entire process — from the paperwork and the Technical Connection Approval (ATR) through to energisation — typically within 4 to 12 weeks. Prices start from 2,900 lei.
Temporary site connection
A temporary site connection supplies your construction site with power throughout the building works, before the permanent connection is installed. It is obtained through a connection application and a Technical Connection Approval (ATR) from Retele Electrice Romania, and is carried out by an ANRE-certified company. Prices start from 2,200 lei (labour plus materials, excluding the operator's fees), with the whole process usually taking around 4-12 weeks.
Grid connection
Electricity grid connection is the process of linking a plot, house or new premises to the electricity distribution network so you can have your own meter and power at the socket. The process involves six stages: the connection request, the Technical Connection Approval (ATR), the connection contract, the ANRE-certified service line works, the Utilization Installation Dossier (DIU) and meter installation. In Bucharest, Ilfov and Giurgiu the network operator is Retele Electrice Romania S.A. (Distributie Energie Electrica Romania). The service starts from 900 lei (labour, excluding operator fees) and typically takes 4 to 12 weeks.
Power increase
A power increase means raising the approved electrical power at your existing connection when your current installation can no longer cope with your consumption. It is carried out through an application to the operator Retele Electrice Romania (Distributie Energie Electrica Romania), followed by a new ATR (Technical Connection Approval), a contract and any required connection changes. In 2026, labour starts from 350 lei (excluding operator fees), with an indicative duration of 4 to 12 weeks.
Prosumer / solar connection
Connecting a photovoltaic system to the grid as a prosumer means submitting a connection application to Retele Electrice Romania (Distributie Energie Electrica Romania). SUN WATT, an ANRE-certified company, prepares the full dossier, obtains the ATR (Technical Connection Approval), and coordinates the installation of a bidirectional meter so you can feed your surplus energy back into the grid.
