Glina is a commune in the south-east of Ilfov County, stretching along the Dambovita river and its constituent villages of Glina, Catei and Manolache, on the eastern edge of Bucharest. Alongside the old village core, recent years have seen the expansion of residential subdivisions and plots where houses are now going up, as well as warehouses, depots and workshops along the arteries leading from Splaiul Unirii and the city ring road. It is precisely this mix of old households and new builds that makes the electrical connection (bransament) a frequently encountered step: a freshly built house that needs to be permanently connected, a subdivided plot that has never had a supply, a temporary construction-site connection, or the switch from single-phase to three-phase when a heat pump, a workshop or a car charging station is installed. SUN WATT, an ANRE-certified company for design and execution, covers all the villages of the Glina commune, and we travel to the site to assess the location and the distance to the existing grid. We prepare the connection request with the necessary documents, follow up on the issuing of the Technical Connection Approval (ATR) from the operator Retele Electrice Romania, carry out the design and execution of the connection (overhead or underground) and prepare the Utilisation Installation Dossier (DIU) for the metering installation. In short, we save you the trips to the operator and offer you a turnkey solution for your grid connection in Glina.
The distribution operator for the 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 through which the ATR is obtained, the technical connection approval that underpins every new connection. As a commune with a predominantly rural profile and scattered plots, the usual solution remains the overhead connection from an existing pole of the low-voltage network, the most economical option, although on the arteries where the infrastructure is buried underground connections are also made, resulting in a mixed picture. For a complete dossier, the operator typically requires the urban planning certificate, the title deed or the land registry extract, the site plan and the connection request. Indicatively, from the filing of the dossier to the actual energisation it usually takes between 4 and 12 weeks, depending on the operator's workload and the complexity of the works.
Services available in Glina
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.
