Gostinu is a commune in the south of Giurgiu County, located in the floodplain area near the Danube, with a predominantly rural character and large households spread along the main roads. In localities such as these, the need for an electrical connection (bransament) most often arises at newly built houses erected on land outside the built-up area or on plots that previously had no power supply, but also at site-establishment works, agricultural outbuildings or properties moving from a temporary connection to a permanent one. SUN WATT SRL, a company certified by ANRE for both design and execution, covers the commune of Gostinu and its attached villages, travelling on site to assess the distance to the low-voltage grid and to determine the appropriate technical solution, whether a single-phase or a three-phase connection. We handle the entire process, from drawing up and submitting the connection dossier to the operator Retele Electrice Romania, through to installing the connection cabinet (firida de bransament) and the meter and carrying out energisation (punere sub tensiune), so that owners in Gostinu do not have to make repeated trips to the distributor's offices.
The distribution operator for Gostinu is Rețele Electrice România S.A., a company formerly known as E-Distribuție Muntenia (previously Enel), through which all connection requests are filed and the technical connection approval (ATR) is obtained. Given the village's rural layout and the households spread out along the roads, the connection is usually made overhead, from an existing pole of the nearby network, a solution that is more economical and quicker to carry out than the underground option encountered in dense urban areas. For a new connection a standard set of documents is normally required, namely the urban planning certificate, the title deed or land registry extract, the site plan and the connection request. From the submission of the complete dossier to the actual energisation, the indicative duration of the whole process is approximately 4-12 weeks, depending on the operator's schedule and the complexity of the works.
Services available in Gostinu
Single-phase connection

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.
