Ciorogârla is a commune in the west of Ilfov County, on the edge of Bucharest's metropolitan area, along the DN6/E70 axis and close to the A1 motorway, also including the village of Dârvari. The commune retains a semi-rural character in which agricultural land and plots along the older lanes are increasingly being parcelled out for housing, so two typical situations frequently arise here: new houses built on land that never had electricity, and construction-site setups that need a temporary connection (bransament provizoriu) for the duration of the build. Because the grid may be some distance from certain recently subdivided plots, assessing the property's position relative to the connection pole is the step we begin with. SUN WATT SRL, a company certified by ANRE for design and execution, handles the entire process in Ciorogârla: submitting the grid connection application with the required documents, following up the Technical Connection Approval (ATR) issued by Retele Electrice Romania S.A. (formerly E-Distributie Muntenia), designing and executing the overhead or underground connection, and preparing the Utilisation Installation Dossier (DIU) for meter installation. We recommend a single-phase connection (230V) for ordinary domestic consumption and a three-phase connection (400V) when a heat pump, workshop or car charging station is planned. We travel throughout the commune, including Dârvari and towards the border with Giurgiu County, and we take over the relationship with the operator ourselves, so the owner does not have to chase paperwork.
The distribution operator managing the network in Ciorogârla is Rețele Electrice România S.A. (formerly E-Distribuție Muntenia, part of the Enel group), through which all connection requests are filed and the technical connection approval (ATR) is obtained. As a commune with a semi-rural structure, the usual solution is the overhead connection, run from the existing pole on the lane, this being the most economical and fastest option; in newer sectors or where the local network has been buried, an underground connection may also be encountered, so situations are sometimes mixed. For a new connection, the documents normally required are the urban planning certificate, the proof of ownership or the land registry extract, the site plan, and the completed connection request. As a guideline, the total duration from filing the complete dossier to energisation is approximately 4-12 weeks, depending on the operator and the complexity of the work.
Services available in Ciorogârla
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.
