Măgurele is a town in the south-west of Ilfov County, known for its physics research campus but also for the residential expansion of recent years, with new housing developments and building plots adding to the old villages that make up the town (such as Pruni, Dumitrana or Alunișu). For owners building a house on a vacant plot, completing a structurally finished build, or needing a temporary connection during the construction works, the grid connection (racordare) is the step that actually brings electricity to the socket. SUN WATT, an ANRE-certified company for design and execution, takes over the entire administrative and technical side for clients in Măgurele: we prepare the connection request together with the paperwork, follow up the issuing of the technical connection approval (aviz tehnic de racordare) from Retele Electrice Romania S.A., carry out the overhead or underground connection depending on the configuration of the grid on the street, and compile the DIU (Utilisation Installation Dossier) required to fit the meter. For households with ordinary consumption we usually recommend the single-phase option, while for large homes, heat pumps or premises with high-power equipment we recommend the three-phase option. We travel to your address in the town and in the belonging villages for an on-site assessment, measure the distance to the connection point and explain the steps through to energisation (punere sub tensiune), so you don't have to keep making trips to the operator.
All connection requests and the issuance of the technical connection approval (ATR) for the Măgurele area are handled through Rețele Electrice România S.A., the distribution operator that took over the former E-Distribuție Muntenia (Enel) and that manages the local network. Given the locality's predominantly residential, extended-commune character, the usual solution is the overhead connection from an existing low-voltage network pole, which is more economical and quicker to implement, although underground connections are also carried out in the areas where the network has been buried, resulting in a mixed picture depending on the neighbourhood. For a new consumption point, the dossier submitted to the operator typically includes the urban planning certificate, the title deed or land registry extract, the site plan and the connection application. From the filing of the documentation to actual energisation, the indicative duration of the entire process ranges between 4 and 12 weeks, depending on the operator's workload and the complexity of the works.
Services available in Măgurele
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.
