Giurgiu, the county-seat municipality located on the banks of the Danube, has a mixed structure, with residential neighbourhoods, the port area and platforms with economic activity, as well as nearby localities and villages as the town spreads out. This diversity means that requests for an electrical connection (bransament) are varied: new houses built on the outskirts of the municipality, older homes that need a power upgrade (spor de putere) for electric boilers or modern appliances, plots without utilities where building starts from scratch, as well as commercial premises or workshops that require a three-phase connection. For every situation in Giurgiu, SUN WATT prepares and submits the connection dossier to the grid operator Retele Electrice Romania S.A., follows up on obtaining the technical connection approval (aviz tehnic de racordare) and carries out the actual works using compliant materials. As a company certified by ANRE for both design and execution, we cover the entire chain of an electrical connection, without you needing to coordinate several suppliers. We travel to Giurgiu and the nearby areas of the county, offering advice from the very first discussion, so that you know from the outset which documents are required and what the stages are up to energisation (punere sub tensiune).
The distribution operator managing the network in this area is Retele Electrice Romania S.A. (formerly E-Distributie Muntenia, part of the Enel group), the body through which all connection requests are filed and which issues the technical connection approval (ATR). Technically, owing to the municipality's mixed layout, the solution varies from case to case: in the dense urban sectors, where the local network is buried, the connection is frequently carried out underground, whereas in the communes and villages on the city's outskirts the overhead connection, run from the existing pole, remains the customary and more economical option. To open the file, the documents usually required are the urban planning certificate, the title deed or land registry extract, the site plan and the completed connection request. As a guide, the total duration from filing the dossier to energisation falls between 4 and 12 weeks, depending on the operator and the complexity of the work.

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.
