The commune of Dascălu lies in the north-east of Ilfov county, in the rural area between Afumați, Moara Vlăsiei, Petrăchioaia and Brănești, and comprises the villages of Dascălu, Creața, Gagu and Runcu. It is an area with many plots of land and building lots that are gradually being developed, where most requests come from people building a new house on land without power, or who want to bring in a permanent connection (bransament) after working for a while on a temporary site supply. For lots further from the main road, there is frequently a need for a grid extension or an overhead connection running to the pole on the communal road, and on plots where a clean facade appearance is desired we recommend the underground solution. SUN WATT, a firm certified by ANRE for design and execution, takes over all the grid connection documentation with Retele Electrice Romania S.A. (formerly E-Distributie Muntenia), prepares the file, obtains the approvals and carries out the work through to energisation (punere sub tensiune). We travel throughout the commune of Dascălu and its belonging villages, this being an area close to our operating base in Ilfov.
The distribution operator for this part of Ilfov county is Rețele Electrice România S.A. (formerly E-Distribuție Muntenia / Enel), through which the connection request and the remaining documentation are filed and from which the ATR is obtained, the technical connection approval that underpins any new connection. As a rural commune with a predominantly overhead network, the usual and more economical solution remains the overhead connection, run from the existing pole to the metering box at the property boundary, with the underground variant appearing only rarely, where the local network is already buried. For a new connection, the documents typically required are the urban planning certificate, the title deed or land registry extract, the site plan and the connection request, completed with the applicant's identity papers. The indicative duration, from filing the complete dossier to actual energisation, usually falls between 4 and 12 weeks, depending on the operator's workload and the complexity of the works, with any network extensions potentially lengthening this interval.

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.
