Domnești stretches along Drumul Cooperativei (the DJ602 county road), between Bragadiru, Clinceni and the south-western edge of Bucharest, and is one of the Ilfov communes where land plots created by subdividing former farmland into housing lots have multiplied noticeably. This is precisely what defines the area: many lots within these subdivisions have never had a power supply, and the operator's network may be a certain distance from the property gate, which means the first question for those building here is how the electricity actually reaches their land. This is where SUN WATT comes in: as a company ANRE-certified for design and execution, we travel to Domnești, measure the distance to the nearest connection point and determine whether the right solution is an overhead connection from an existing pole or an underground one with a protective conduit. Across the commune we frequently encounter three situations: houses built to weatherproof shell stage that first need a temporary site connection, completed homes moving on to the permanent connection, and households wanting to switch from single-phase (230V) to three-phase (400V) when installing a heat pump or an electric vehicle charging station. For each case we prepare the connection application to Retele Electrice Romania, follow through on the issuing of the ATR, sign the connection contract on your behalf, carry out the connection and hand over the DIU dossier ready for meter installation. In short, you look after the house and we handle the trips to the operator.
All connection requests, together with the issuance of the ATR (technical connection approval), are filed and processed through the distribution operator Rețele Electrice România S.A., formerly E-Distribuție Muntenia (Enel), which manages the network across the commune. Being a predominantly rural area with extensive subdivisions on former agricultural land, the most common and most economical solution remains the overhead connection from an existing pole, although in the more developed sectors, where the local network is buried, an underground connection may also be required, so that in practice mixed situations are frequently encountered. For a new consumption point, the documents usually requested are the urban planning certificate, the title deed or the land registry extract, the site plan and the connection request, which we prepare together with the beneficiary. From the filing of the complete dossier until actual energisation, the indicative duration is 4-12 weeks, depending on the operator's workload and the complexity of the works.
Services available in Domnești
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.
