The commune of Hotarele lies in the south-east of Giurgiu County, close to the Danube and the floodplain area, and is made up of the villages of Hotarele, Iepuresti, Isvoarele, Milcovatu and Heresti. It is a predominantly rural area, with individual households, agricultural land and plots where new houses or outbuildings requiring their own electrical connection (bransament) appear more and more often. In such situations, owners need a new connection for a newly built home, a power upgrade (spor de putere) for an extended house, or a temporary site connection for the duration of the works. SUN WATT SRL, a company certified by ANRE for design and execution, travels to Hotarele and the villages belonging to it to take on the entire procedure for connecting to the network of the grid operator Retele Electrice Romania S.A. We handle the preparation of the dossier, the electrical design, the installation of the panel and the connection installation, all the way through to energisation (punere sub tensiune). We cover the entire area in southern Giurgiu, including the neighbouring localities, so that travelling out for an on-site assessment is simple and quick.
The distribution operator serving Hotarele commune is Rețele Electrice România S.A. (formerly E-Distribuție Muntenia / Enel), through which all connection requests are filed and the technical connection approval (ATR) is obtained. Given the rural character of the villages in the area, the customary and most economical solution remains the overhead connection, made from the existing low-voltage network pole located near the property, although on the sections where the network is buried an underground connection can also be carried out. For a new connection the documents usually required are 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 until energisation, the indicative duration is 4-12 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.
