Schitu is a commune in Giurgiu county, located in the lowland area of southern Romania, with a predominantly rural character and households spread along the main roads and the lanes of its constituent villages. In areas such as these, the need for an electrical connection (bransament) most often arises when building a new house, bringing a household back into service, constructing an outbuilding, a barn or a storage space, or when a building is put up on land outside the built-up area where there was no previous electricity supply. SUN WATT SRL, a company certified by ANRE for both design and execution, handles electrical connections and grid connections in Schitu and the neighbouring localities in Giurgiu, working together with the distribution operator Retele Electrice Romania S.A. We can guide you in obtaining the technical connection approval (aviz tehnic de racordare), prepare the necessary documentation and carry out the single-phase or three-phase connection work depending on the estimated consumption. We travel to Schitu to assess the situation on site and, together with you, decide on the right solution, taking into account the distance from the grid and the specific features of each household or building.
All connection procedures for Schitu are carried out through the distribution operator Rețele Electrice România S.A. (formerly E-Distribuție Muntenia / Enel), the entity that issues the technical connection approval (ATR) and manages the entire flow of connection requests. As a rural locality with an overhead network, the usual solution here is the overhead connection made from the existing low-voltage pole, the most economical option in areas where the supply is not buried, although in points where underground sections coexist mixed solutions can also be applied. For a new connection one typically prepares the urban planning certificate, the title deed or the land registry extract, the site plan and the connection request, documents on the basis of which the file is opened. From the moment of filing until actual energisation, the indicative duration is around 4-12 weeks, depending on the operator's pace and the complexity of the work.
Services available in Schitu
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.

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.
