Ghimpați is a commune in the north of Giurgiu County, located along the European road linking Bucharest and Giurgiu, with an extensive territory that includes several attached villages and numerous scattered households. In this area, demand for electrical connections (bransament) frequently arises for newly built houses, for plots subdivided from agricultural land, and for outbuildings or agricultural sheds that need a separate electricity supply. SUN WATT SRL, a company certified by ANRE for both design and execution, handles the entire course of the work in Ghimpați: the on-site assessment, the preparation of the technical documentation, the connection design and the actual execution of the connection (racordare), in liaison with the distribution operator Retele Electrice Romania S.A. Whether it is a single-phase connection for an ordinary home or a three-phase one for a building with higher consumption, we travel to Ghimpați and the neighbouring villages in the commune to establish the right solution for each location. For an initial discussion and to schedule a visit, you can contact us by phone at 0733 097 440.
The distribution operator that manages the network in Ghimpați is Rețele Electrice România S.A. (formerly E-Distribuție Muntenia / Enel), the body through which all connection requests are filed and the ATR (technical connection approval) is obtained. Given the predominantly rural character of the commune and its belonging villages, the usual solution remains the overhead connection made from the existing low-voltage network pole, the most economical and fastest option for the scattered households and outbuildings, although in areas where buried network sections coexist an underground connection may also be applied. For a new connection file, the documents typically required are the urban planning certificate, the title deed or land registry extract, the site plan and the completed connection request. From the submission of the complete dossier to the actual energisation, the indicative duration generally falls between 4 and 12 weeks, depending on the operator's schedule and the complexity of the works.
Services available in Ghimpați
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.
