Clinceni is a commune in the south-west of Ilfov county, made up of its administrative-centre village and the dependent localities of Olteni and Ordoreanu, crossed by the river Sabar and located a short distance from the new southern section of the Bucharest Ring Motorway (A0). This position, between Bucharest and the plains area of Ilfov, has turned Clinceni into a sought-after destination for people building a house on their own land, so single-family homes and small clusters of villas that need to be connected to the grid from scratch are constantly appearing on the plotted lots. SUN WATT SRL, a company certified by ANRE for design and execution, carries out electrical connections (bransament) and grid connections (racordare) in Clinceni, in Olteni and in Ordoreanu, working with the distribution operator Retele Electrice Romania S.A. (formerly E-Distributie Muntenia). Here we encounter situations typical of expanding areas: houses at the structural stage that first need a temporary site connection, then the permanent one, but also plots where the building is further from the existing pole, which may call for a longer-distance connection solution. We handle the entire chain - the connection request with the accompanying documents, obtaining the Technical Connection Approval (ATR), the connection contract, the design and execution of the overhead or underground connection, and the preparation of the Utilisation Installation Dossier (DIU) for installing the meter. For a home with domestic consumption we usually choose the single-phase option (230V), while for households with a heat pump, a workshop or a car charging station we choose the three-phase option (400V). We come to your address in the commune for an on-site assessment and tell you the steps clearly, so that you do not have to go to the operator on your own.
All connection requests and the issuance of the technical connection approval (ATR) for Clinceni are handled through Rețele Electrice România S.A., the distribution operator that took over the former E-Distribuție Muntenia (Enel) and manages the grid in this part of Ilfov. Being a predominantly residential commune, the usual solution remains the overhead connection run from the existing low-voltage pole near the plots, the most economical option for individual homes, although on the streets where the network is laid underground buried connections are also carried out, resulting in a mixed system. For a new consumption point a standard set of documents is generally required: the urbanism certificate, the title deed or land registry extract, the site plan and the connection request. As a guideline, from the submission of the complete dossier to the actual energisation it normally takes between 4 and 12 weeks, the interval depending on the operator and the complexity of the works.
Services available in Clinceni
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.
