Vărăști is a commune in the south-east of Giurgiu County, in the lowland area of the Argeș floodplain, with a traditional village centre and sprawling households where farming remains the main occupation. Unlike the communes adjoining Bucharest, the pace of construction is steadier here, yet new houses regularly appear, built by locals on family land, along with farm outbuildings and small farms that need an electrical connection (bransament) for their first power supply. SUN WATT takes on such work in Vărăști, whether it is a new home without a connection, the replacement of an old service line that can no longer cope with demand, or the switch from a single-phase connection (230V) to three-phase (400V) for an irrigation water pump, a mill, a workshop or an EV charging station. We are a firm certified by ANRE for design and execution, and we travel out to the commune to measure the distance between the property and the existing line, an important factor in lowland areas where plots may be further from the grid. The distribution operator for Vărăști is Retele Electrice Romania S.A. (formerly E-Distributie Muntenia / Enel), and we prepare the grid connection request, follow up on the issuing of the Technical Connection Approval (ATR), design and carry out the connection, and prepare the Utilisation Installation Dossier (DIU) through to fitting the meter. In short, you take care of your paperwork, and we make the rest of the trips, from file to pole.
All connection requests in Vărăști are filed with Rețele Electrice România S.A., the distribution operator for the area (formerly E-Distribuție Muntenia / Enel), through which the technical connection approval (ATR) required for energisation is also obtained. Being a lowland commune with a widely spread overhead network, the usual solution here is the overhead connection run from the existing pole near the property, the most economical and fastest option in rural settings. To open the file, the documents typically required are the urban planning certificate, the proof of ownership or land registry extract, the site plan, and a properly completed connection request. From the filing of the dossier to the actual supply of energy, the indicative duration is approximately 4-12 weeks, depending on the operator's workload and the complexity of the works.
Services available in Vărăști
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.
