Dobroești is a commune in Ilfov County adjoining the eastern edge of Bucharest, made up of the villages of Dobroești and Fundeni, an area where the older stock of households intertwines with recently parcelled plots and homes built in the past few years. For a newly constructed house, for an annexe, or for an extension that has exceeded the initially contracted power, the electrical connection (bransament) becomes the step without which the property cannot be energised. SUN WATT works in Dobroești as a firm certified by ANRE for design and execution, and here it encounters situations typical of this city margin: completed individual homes awaiting their definitive grid connection (racordare), temporary connections for the duration of the building site, and switches from single-phase (230V) to three-phase (400V) wherever heat pumps, extended air conditioning, or car charging stations appear. The competent grid operator in the area is Retele Electrice Romania S.A. (formerly E-Distributie Muntenia / Enel), and we manage the entire relationship with it: we prepare and submit the grid connection request, follow up the issuance of the Technical Connection Approval (ATR), execute the overhead or underground connection, and draw up the Utilisation Installation Dossier (DIU) required for fitting the meter. We travel to your address in Dobroești or Fundeni for an on-site assessment, check the position relative to the grid and the documents available, and then spare you the trips to the counters by taking care of the paperwork ourselves from the very first step to the power in the socket.
The distribution operator serving the commune is Rețele Electrice România S.A. (formerly E-Distribuție Muntenia, part of the Enel group), the body through which all connection requests are filed and through which the ATR is issued — the technical connection approval that sets out the concrete supply conditions. Being a city edge with a mixed profile, the connection solution differs from street to street: in densely built-up areas, where the local network is laid underground, the connection is frequently made below ground, while on the more open plots and on roads with existing poles the overhead connection is retained, the more economical option that is also quicker to carry out. For a complete dossier the documents usually required are the urban planning certificate, the title deed or the land registry extract, the site plan and the connection request — documents that SUN WATT prepares and aligns with the technical design. From the filing of the dossier to the actual energisation, the indicative duration falls between 4 and 12 weeks, depending on the operator's workload and the complexity of the works.
Services available in Dobroești
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.
