Electricity Grid Connection — From Paperwork to the Pole

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.

When you need it

You need this service when you are building a new house on a plot that has no connection, buying land that is not yet connected to the grid, fitting out commercial premises or industrial units with no power supply, setting up a construction site, reconnecting a property that has been disconnected, or requesting a power increase or a switch from single-phase to three-phase supply.

How it works — step by step

  1. Connection request and documents. We gather and complete your file: the connection request, identity document, proof of ownership (Land Registry extract), urban planning certificate and the site/location plan. The file is submitted to Retele Electrice Romania S.A. (Distributie Energie Electrica Romania).
  2. Technical Connection Approval (ATR). The operator reviews the request and issues the ATR (Technical Connection Approval) — the document that sets out the technical solution, the approved power and the connection tariff. This is the stage at which the exact cost is confirmed.
  3. Connection contract. Once the ATR has been issued, the contract is signed with the operator and the connection tariff is paid. The works can then proceed in line with the approved solution.
  4. Service line design and works. The design is drawn up and the service line (overhead or underground) is installed by our ANRE-certified team, in accordance with the solution set out in the ATR and the technical standards in force.
  5. DIU, meter and energising. We prepare the Utilization Installation Dossier (DIU) — the file certifying your internal electrical installation — with an ANRE-certified electrician, after which the operator installs the meter and energises the installation.

FAQ — Grid connection

What does electricity grid connection mean?

It is the complete process by which a property or plot is connected to the network and receives its own meter. It includes the connection request, the Technical Connection Approval (ATR), the contract, the ANRE-certified service line works, the Utilization Installation Dossier (DIU) and meter installation.

How much does electricity grid connection cost?

Preparing and submitting the file starts from around 900 lei (labour, excluding operator fees). To this you add the ATR tariff and the cost of the works, depending on the power required, the distance and the type of service line. As a guide: the Technical Connection Approval (ATR) from 350 lei, the DIU file from 1,200 lei, and a single-phase service line from 1,800 lei.

How long does the connection take?

As a rule, between 4 and 12 weeks from submission of the file to energising. The ATR takes a few weeks; the service line works are carried out within a few days once the approvals are in place.
