Popești-Leordeni is one of the towns in the south of Ilfov county with the most pronounced residential development, practically adjoining Sector 4 of Bucharest. New blocks of flats, individual houses and small storage warehouses are constantly appearing here, each requiring an electrical connection (bransament) that is energised before moving in or starting operations. SUN WATT SRL works regularly on the streets of the recently parcelled-out residential areas, as well as on the older arteries in the town centre, where there is frequent demand for replacing a worn-out connection or upgrading the power from single-phase to three-phase. As a company certified by ANRE for design and execution, we prepare the connection dossier, draw up the technical project, install the connection cabinet (firida de bransament) and the riser column, then hand the work over for the actual grid connection (racordare) to be completed by Retele Electrice Romania. We cover the entire town of Popești-Leordeni, travel quickly for on-site assessments, and advise the client on choosing the right power level for a new consumer.

All connection dossiers for Popești-Leordeni are filed with Rețele Electrice România S.A., the distribution operator that took over the former E-Distribuție Muntenia (Enel) and which issues the technical connection approval (ATR) for each consumption point. Since the locality combines densely built-up areas, where the local network is laid underground, with more open residential sectors and outlying plots, the connection solution varies: in compact developments the underground connection is frequently carried out, while in the commune-type areas the overhead supply from the existing pole remains the more economical option, both types coexisting in practice. For a new connection, the documents usually required are the urban planning certificate, the title deed or land registry extract, the site plan and the completed connection application. From the submission of the complete dossier to energisation, the indicative duration of the whole process is 4-12 weeks, depending on the operator's workload and the complexity of the works.

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. The price is set through a personalised quote. Call 0733 097 440.
