Pantelimon lies just east of Bucharest, between Lake Pantelimon and the Cernica area, a town in Ilfov county that has grown considerably in recent years: alongside the old core of the town, new parcelled developments have appeared, plots on which homes are being built, as well as a commercial-industrial corridor towards the Ring Road. This combination means that connection (racordare) requests are varied. Most often we work on newly built houses that are to be supplied for the first time, on parcelled plots without utilities, and on households in the old part of town where the installation and the electrical connection (bransament) can no longer keep up with today's consumption. For these cases, SUN WATT SRL - a team with ANRE certification for design and execution - prepares the connection request, follows up on the issuance of the Technical Connection Approval (ATR) at Retele Electrice Romania S.A. (formerly E-Distributie Muntenia / Enel), carries out the work and compiles the Utilisation Installation Dossier (DIU). We come to your address in Pantelimon to measure the distance to the grid and determine whether an overhead or underground connection is suitable, single-phase or three-phase. We also cover the neighbouring villages and districts, taking over the administrative side so that the owner does not have to run between counters.
All connection requests and the issuing of the technical connection approval (ATR) for Pantelimon are handled through the distribution operator Rețele Electrice România S.A. (formerly E-Distribuție Muntenia / Enel), which manages the network in the area. Given the mixed character of the locality, the connection solution varies according to the site: in the dense subdivisions and along the commercial-industrial corridor, where the local network is laid underground, the connection is frequently made buried, whereas in the old village core and on the more isolated plots the overhead option from the existing pole is kept, being more economical. For a new connection, the dossier usually required includes the urban planning certificate, the title deed or land registry extract, the site plan and the connection application. From the moment the complete dossier is filed until energisation, the indicative duration is roughly 4-12 weeks, depending on the operator's workload and the complexity of the works.
Services available in Pantelimon
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.
