Dărăști-Ilfov is a commune in the south of Ilfov county, on the edge of Bucharest, with residential areas under constant development and plots where more and more new houses are being built. For these constructions, the electrical connection (bransament) is one of the first necessary steps, whether it is a matter of a new connection for a recently completed home, a power upgrade (spor de putere) to the contracted capacity of an existing household, or a connection for an outbuilding, a workshop or a small commercial space. SUN WATT, an ANRE-certified company for design and execution, handles the entire journey in Dărăști-Ilfov: assessing the situation on site, drawing up the technical documentation, submitting and following up the application file with the operator Retele Electrice Romania, the actual execution of the connection and preparation for energisation (punere sub tensiune). We cover both the areas close to the main road and the more secluded streets and the new plot developments in the commune, with a site visit to determine the right solution for each property.
In Dărăști-Ilfov, all connection requests and the issuing of the technical connection approval (ATR) are handled through the distribution operator Rețele Electrice România S.A., the entity that took over the former E-Distribuție Muntenia (Enel) and which manages the network in this area. Being a predominantly residential and rural commune, the usual solution remains the overhead connection, made from the existing pole near the property, the most economical and fastest option; however, on the stretches where the local network is already buried, the underground connection can be chosen, so that in practice you often encounter both situations. For a new connection, the file typically includes the urban planning certificate, the proof of ownership or the land registry extract, the site plan and the connection request, documents that we prepare together with the beneficiary. As a rough guide, from filing the dossier to actual energisation the total duration falls within a range of 4 to 12 weeks, depending on the operator's pace and the complexity of the work.
Services available in Dărăști-Ilfov
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.

The timeline from file submission to energisation is typically 4-12 weeks, with the final cost confirmed through the ATR (Technical Connection Approval).

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.

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.
