Iepurești is a rural commune in the north of Giurgiu County, on the Vlăsiei plain, made up of several scattered villages, including the seat of Iepurești, alongside Bâcu, Banești, Chirculești, Gorneni and Stâlpu. On subdivided agricultural plots and on the land at the edge of the villages, holiday homes, permanent residences and household outbuildings are increasingly being built and need to be connected to the power grid for the first time. A particular feature of this plain area is that the new property may be located some distance from the nearest pole, which sometimes means a longer overhead connection (bransament) or, where appropriate, a grid extension up to the property boundary - aspects that can only be clarified after an on-site assessment. SUN WATT, a company certified by ANRE for design and execution, covers the entire commune of Iepurești and its constituent villages, travelling on site to assess the actual situation and determine the right solution. We take over the grid connection (racordare) application, follow up on the issuing of the Technical Connection Approval (ATR) from Retele Electrice Romania (formerly E-Distributie Muntenia), design and execute the connection - single-phase (230V) for an ordinary household or three-phase (400V) for small farms, workshops, irrigation systems or heat pumps - and prepare the Utilisation Installation Dossier (DIU) up to the installation of the meter. This way, the resident of Iepurești has just a single conversation to handle, while the administrative and technical steps remain our responsibility.
The distribution operator for this part of Giurgiu county is Retele Electrice Romania S.A. (formerly E-Distributie Muntenia, part of the Enel group), and it is through this operator that all connection requests are filed and the technical connection approval (ATR) is obtained, the document that sets out the solution and the parameters of the connection. Being a rural commune with scattered villages, the connection is usually made overhead, from the existing low-voltage network pole to the meter box on the property, the most practical and economical solution for plots on the outskirts of Iepurești, Bâcu, Banești, Chirculești, Gorneni or Stâlpu. To open the file, the documents normally required are the urban planning certificate, the title deed or land registry extract, the site plan and the connection request, completed with the technical data of the intended consumption. From the submission of the complete dossier until the actual energisation, the indicative duration of the whole process generally falls between 4 and 12 weeks, depending on the operator's timelines and the complexity of the work.

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. 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.
