Buturugeni is a commune in the north of Giurgiu County, with associated villages and households spread across large plots, where the appearance of new houses on reconverted agricultural land often creates the need for an electrical connection (bransament) built from scratch. SUN WATT, an ANRE-certified company for the design and execution of electrical installations, serves property owners in Buturugeni regardless of the type of work: the first power supply to a newly built home, the connection of an annexe or a modernised barn, or the switch from a single-phase connection (230V) to a three-phase one (400V) when more demanding loads appear, such as heat pumps, irrigation systems or workshop machinery. Because properties in the commune are sometimes a fair distance from the nearest pole, we assess on site whether the right solution is an overhead or an underground connection and whether the grid needs to be extended up to the property boundary. The distribution operator with jurisdiction in this part of Muntenia is Retele Electrice Romania S.A. (formerly E-Distributie Muntenia / Enel), and we manage the entire relationship with it: we submit the grid connection request, follow up on the issuing of the ATR, design and execute the connection, then prepare the Utilisation Installation Dossier through to the metering and energisation (punere sub tensiune). We travel to Buturugeni and the neighbouring villages in Giurgiu, so that the owner only has to deal with their own paperwork, without repeated trips to the counters.
All connection requests and the issuing of the technical connection approval (ATR) for Buturugeni are handled through Retele Electrice Romania S.A., the distribution operator that took over the activity of the former E-Distributie Muntenia (Enel). Being a predominantly rural commune, with generous plots and an overhead low-voltage network, the usual solution is the overhead connection from the existing pole, the most economical and fastest option, although in areas where the local network is buried an underground connection can also be carried out. The connection dossier typically includes the urban planning certificate, the title of ownership or the land registry extract, the site plan and the connection request. From the submission of the complete documentation to energisation, the process takes indicatively between 4 and 12 weeks, depending on the operator's schedule and the complexity of the work.
Services available in Buturugeni
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 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. 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.
