Valea Dragului is a small commune on the eastern edge of Giurgiu County, made up of a single village of the same name, set on the left bank of the Arges right at the boundary with Calarasi County and crossed by the county road DJ401. As a predominantly rural settlement stretched out along the main road, the situations for which locals need an electrical connection (bransament) are typical of this plain area in the Arges floodplain: a house built on a plot at the edge of the village, a farm outbuilding or stable that needs to be supplied separately, a water pumping or irrigation system on land near the river, as well as the replacement of an old connection that can no longer cope with today's consumption. SUN WATT SRL, a company certified by ANRE for design and execution, travels to Valea Dragului to assess the site and the distance to the nearest point of the network, then takes over the entire procedure: the grid connection (racordare) application and the documents, following up the Technical Connection Approval (ATR) with the operator Retele Electrice Romania S.A. (formerly E-Distributie Muntenia), the design and the actual installation of the connection, as well as the Utilisation Installation Dossier (DIU) required for the meter. For an ordinary household we usually choose the single-phase option (230V), and for higher consumption, pumps or machinery, the three-phase option (400V). We work on a turnkey basis, from dossier to pole, so the owner does not have to make trips to the operator on their own.
All connection requests for Valea Dragului are filed with the distribution operator Rețele Electrice România S.A. (formerly E-Distribuție Muntenia / Enel), the entity that also issues the technical connection approval (ATR) required for any new consumption point. Given the rural character of the village, stretched along the main road, the usual solution remains the overhead connection, run from the existing low-voltage network pole nearby, the most economical option for the households and outbuildings in the area. To compile the dossier you typically need the urban planning certificate, the proof of ownership or the land registry extract, the site plan and the completed connection application. From the moment the documentation is submitted until the actual energisation, the process takes an indicative 4 to 12 weeks, the interval varying with the operator's schedule and the complexity of the work.
Services available in Valea Dragului
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.
