Mihai Bravu is a commune in the Romanian Plain, in the north-eastern part of Giurgiu County, made up of a single village and located around 25-30 km from Bucharest, near the localities of Crucea de Piatra, Vlad Tepes and Branistari. As a predominantly rural and agricultural area, the most frequent requests here are connections (bransament) for newly built houses on plots within the built-up area, grid connections (racordare) for households rebuilding their installation, or for outbuildings and farms located on agricultural land outside the built-up area. SUN WATT SRL, an ANRE-certified company for both design and execution, covers the entire commune of Mihai Bravu and takes care of the whole journey: preparing the connection dossier, submitting it to Retele Electrice Romania, the technical design, and the actual execution of the single-phase or three-phase connection. For owners in Mihai Bravu who are building in areas where the grid poles are at a distance from the plot, we assess the optimal connection (racordare) solution early on, so that the work complies with the regulations in force and is energised (punere sub tensiune) without unnecessary delays.
At an administrative level, the distribution operator for this area is Retele Electrice Romania S.A. (formerly E-Distributie Muntenia / Enel), the entity to which all connection requests are submitted and which issues the technical connection approval (ATR). As a rural commune with an overhead low-voltage network, the usual and also most economical solution is the overhead connection run from the existing pole near the property, the underground variant being reserved for the specific cases where the local layout requires it. For a new connection, the documents generally required are the urban planning certificate, the title deed or the land registry extract, the site plan and the completed connection request. As a rough guide, from the filing of the complete dossier to the actual energisation an average of 4-12 weeks elapses, the interval varying according to the operator's schedule 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.
