Letca Nouă is a rural commune in the south of Giurgiu County, in the heart of the Vlasca plain, made up of the villages of Letca Nouă, Letca Veche and Milcovatu, with scattered households and plots where new houses are gradually going up. Here, the most common requests are an electrical connection (bransament) for a newly built house with no power supply, the grid connection (racordare) of an outbuilding, a barn or an agricultural workshop, and the switch from a single-phase connection (230V) to three-phase (400V) when greater consumption arises - an irrigation pump, machinery or an electric vehicle charging station. As this is an area of villages with a predominantly overhead network, the distance between the property and the nearest pole can be significant, and sometimes a short network extension or an additional pole up to the property boundary is needed. SUN WATT is a company certified by ANRE for design and execution and covers Letca Nouă together with its belonging villages, travelling on site to survey the route and determine the right solution. The distribution operator in the area is Retele Electrice Romania S.A. (formerly E-Distributie Muntenia), and we take on all the paperwork: the grid connection (racordare) application, obtaining the Technical Connection Approval (ATR), the design and execution of the connection, the Utilisation Installation Dossier (DIU) and preparation for fitting the meter. Even though the locality is further from Bucharest, we come out to Letca Nouă for the assessment, and you are left with only your own documents - we carry out the rest of the steps through to energisation (punere sub tensiune).
The distribution operator for this area 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. In communes such as Letca Nouă, being a rural setting with a low-voltage network mounted overhead, the usual and more economical solution is the overhead connection from a nearby existing pole, the underground connection remaining rather an exception where the route requires it. For a new connection one normally prepares the urbanism certificate, the title deed or the land registry extract, the site plan and the connection request, documents on the basis of which the operator reviews the file. From the complete submission of the dossier until energisation, the indicative duration is roughly 4-12 weeks, depending on the operator's workload 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. 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.
