Chitila is a town located north-west of Bucharest, in Ilfov county, with a compact urban area around the railway station and the railway line, complemented by new residential neighbourhoods and areas of detached houses undergoing rapid development. As more and more new homes, power upgrade (spor de putere) requests and buildings moving from a temporary construction-site supply to a permanent connection appear, the need for a correct connection to the electrical grid becomes a frequent one. SUN WATT SRL carries out electrical connections (bransament) in Chitila for newly built houses, plots without utilities, installation upgrades and consumption separations, handling the design and execution side as an ANRE-certified firm. The connections are carried out through the distribution operator Retele Electrice Romania S.A., while we prepare the connection file, draw up the technical documentation and coordinate the work through to energisation (punere sub tensiune). We cover both the central area of the town of Chitila and the component locality of Rudeni, as well as the neighbouring areas of Ilfov, travelling on site for assessment and consultancy.
The distribution operator for this area is Retele Electrice Romania S.A. (formerly E-Distributie Muntenia / Enel), the body through which all connection requests are filed and the ATR, the technical connection approval required for any new connection, is obtained. Given the mixed character of the locality, the technical solution differs from one street to another: in the compact urban core around the railway station, where the local network is buried in many places, the connection is frequently carried out underground, whereas in the developing areas of individual houses the overhead option is preferred, drawn from the existing pole, being more economical and quicker to implement. For the dossier, the urban planning certificate, the title deed or land registry extract, the site plan and the duly completed connection request are usually required. As a guideline, approximately 4-12 weeks pass from the submission of the complete dossier to energisation, the interval depending on the operator's schedule and the complexity of the works.
Services available in Chitila
Single-phase connection

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.
