You never need to travel to Romania.

Thousands of Romanians in London, Luton, Manchester and Birmingham own a plot of land or a house back home that still has no electricity meter. Sorting out an electrical connection (bransament electric) usually means weeks of queuing at offices, chasing the distribution operator and signing papers in person - hard to do when your life, job and family are in the UK. The good news: you no longer have to take time off and fly to Bucharest to get it done.
SUN WATT SRL, the team behind bransam.ro, is an ANRE-certified company for both design and execution of electrical connections in Bucharest, Ilfov and Giurgiu, and we handle DIU (Utilisation Installation) files nationwide. We have built our process specifically around clients who live abroad: you grant us a notarised power of attorney, send your documents online, and we take care of everything from the paperwork to the pole - obtaining the ATR from the distribution operator Rețele Electrice România S.A., executing the connection and finalising the DIU.
Everything is coordinated around your UK time zone over WhatsApp, email and phone, so you can approve quotes and review progress on your own schedule. You receive photos and video at each stage and pay by bank transfer from abroad. Call or message us on 0733 097 440 and we will tell you exactly what your land needs.
How it works — step by step, remotely
- 1
1. Free consultation and quote (no travel)
Send us a message on WhatsApp at 0733 097 440 with your property location and a photo of any documents you already have (title deed, urban planning certificate). We review your situation, tell you whether you need single-phase or three-phase, explain the steps and send you a clear quote - all online, scheduled around UK working hours so the time difference is never a problem.

2. You sign a power of attorney (procura) at the Romanian consulate
So we can act on your behalf in Romania, you give us a notarised power of attorney. Romanian citizens in the UK can obtain this at a Romanian consulate or embassy in the United Kingdom, or as a document notarised locally and apostilled for use in Romania. We tell you exactly what wording the document must contain and which institutions it must authorise us to represent you before, so you get it right the first time.

3. You send your documents online
You email or WhatsApp us scans or clear photos of your ID, the title deed or land registry extract (extras de carte funciara) and the urban planning certificate (certificat de urbanism), where required. We check that everything is complete and correct before anything is submitted, so there are no surprises later.

4. We prepare and submit the grid-connection dossier and obtain the ATR
Our ANRE-certified specialists prepare the connection dossier and project and submit it to the distribution operator, Rețele Electrice România S.A. We follow the file through to approval and obtain your ATR (the technical connection certificate that sets your approved power and connection conditions), keeping you updated at each milestone.

5. We execute the connection and complete the DIU
Once the operator approves, our team carries out the physical connection works on site - the meter box, cabling and everything up to the pole - and prepares the DIU (Utilisation Installation file) so your installation is officially recognised. You receive photos and short videos of the work in progress and on completion, straight to your phone.

6. You pay by bank transfer and get the final handover
You pay our labour and materials by bank transfer from your UK account, and the operator's own fee is paid as required. We hand over the completed file and confirmation that your property is connected - all without you ever setting foot in Romania.

Frequently asked questions — from abroad
How does the power of attorney (procura) work if I live in the UK?
You give us a notarised power of attorney authorising us to represent you before the distribution operator and the relevant authorities. As a Romanian citizen in the UK you can obtain it at a Romanian consulate or embassy in the United Kingdom, or have it notarised locally and apostilled for use in Romania. We send you the exact text and the list of powers the document must include, so it is accepted without issues. We do not provide consulate addresses ourselves - check the official consular website for the office nearest you.
What documents do I need to send, and how?
Typically your ID, the title deed or land registry extract (extras de carte funciara), and the urban planning certificate (certificat de urbanism) where it is required. You send clear scans or photos by WhatsApp or email - no originals by post are needed to start. We review everything and tell you if anything is missing before we submit your file.
Can I really arrange everything without travelling to Romania?
Yes. The whole point of our remote service is that you never need to come back. With your power of attorney and documents in hand, we prepare and submit the dossier, obtain the ATR from Rețele Electrice România S.A., execute the connection and complete the DIU. Your presence in Romania is not required at any stage.
How do I pay from the UK?
You pay our labour and materials by bank transfer from your UK bank account to the company account - no cash and no need to send money with someone travelling. The distribution operator's own fee is paid as required during the process. We give you a clear quote in advance; indicative prices are from 1.800 lei single-phase and from 2.900 lei three-phase for labour and materials, with the operator fee separate. A DIU dossier is from 1.200 lei and a connection dossier/project from 900 lei.
How long does the whole process take?
It depends mainly on the distribution operator's processing and approval times rather than on us, and on how quickly the power of attorney and documents are ready. Preparing and submitting the dossier is quick once we have everything; the operator's ATR and the connection works then follow their own timeline. We give you a realistic estimate for your specific case at the quote stage and keep you informed at every milestone so you always know where things stand.
How will we stay in touch across the time difference?
We work over WhatsApp, phone and email at 0733 097 440 and schedule calls to fit UK hours, so the time zone is never a barrier. You receive written updates plus photos and short videos at each key stage - documents submitted, ATR obtained, works carried out and file completed - so you can follow and approve everything from your phone in the UK.
