Gostinari is a commune in the south-east of Giurgiu County, in the Arges floodplain, made up of the villages of Gostinari and Mironesti, with a predominantly rural setting and sprawling homesteads, where houses are often built on plots some distance from the existing grid. In such plains villages, the most frequent situations we are called out for are the electrical connection (bransament) for a newly built house that does not yet have a supply, the connection of a farm outbuilding or a stable, the supply of an irrigation or deep-well pump and, increasingly often, the switch from a single-phase connection (230V) to three-phase (400V) when a larger consumption appears. SUN WATT, a company certified by ANRE for design and execution, covers both the village of Gostinari and Mironesti, travelling to the site to measure the distance to the nearest connection point and to determine whether the suitable solution is overhead or underground. We take on the entire bureaucracy: the grid connection (racordare) application to Retele Electrice Romania (the distribution operator in the Muntenia area, formerly E-Distributie Muntenia / Enel), following up the Technical Connection Approval (ATR), the connection contract, the design and execution of the connection, then the Utilisation Installation Dossier (DIU) up to fitting the meter. In short, the owner in Gostinari is left with a single conversation, and we handle the rest of the steps, from the dossier to the pole.
All connection requests and the issuance of the technical connection approval (ATR) are handled through the distribution operator Rețele Electrice România S.A., formerly E-Distribuție Muntenia (Enel), which manages the infrastructure in the area. Being a plain commune with scattered households, the usual solution here is the overhead connection, run from the existing low-voltage network pole, the most economical option for plots set back from the road; only where the local network has been buried is an underground connection used. For a new connection, the certificate of urbanism, the proof of ownership or land registry extract, the site plan and the connection request are typically required, documents with which we prepare and file the dossier on your behalf. From the filing of the dossier to the actual energisation, the indicative duration is 4-12 weeks, depending on the operator's pace and the complexity of the work.
Services available in Gostinari
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.
