Turnkey Transformer Stations - Design and Installation by SUN WATT

A transformer station steps the voltage down from the medium-voltage grid (20 kV) to low voltage (400/230 V). It is required when your power demand exceeds the capacity of a standard low-voltage connection (roughly above 100-150 kW).

SUN WATT, an ANRE-certified company for both design and installation, builds transformer stations in concrete enclosures, pole-mounted (aerial) or wall-mounted, across Bucharest, Ilfov and Giurgiu. The service is provided on the basis of a personalised quote, once the solution has been established through the Technical Connection Approval (ATR) issued by Retele Electrice Romania (Distributie Energie Electrica Romania).

When you need it

A transformer station is typically needed for industrial halls, warehouses, residential developments, shopping centres, farms with irrigation systems, electric vehicle charging stations and workshops running heavy machinery. It is also required when expanding existing operations or developing land that has no grid connection nearby.

How it works — step by step

  1. Step 1: Assessing the demand and the connection request. We determine the power required in kVA/kW, then prepare and submit the connection request to Retele Electrice Romania so they can assess connection to the medium-voltage grid.
  2. Step 2: The Technical Connection Approval (ATR). The operator issues the ATR (Technical Connection Approval), setting out the technical conditions, the delimitation point, the solution and the connection tariff. The final quote is then drawn up on this basis.
  3. Step 3: Connection contract and design. Once the contract is signed and the tariff is paid, we prepare the technical design (enclosure, transformer, medium-voltage cells, low-voltage switchboard, protections and earthing).
  4. Step 4: Installation and assembly. We carry out the work on a turnkey basis: site preparation, installation of the enclosure and equipment, fitting of the transformer and cells, connections, earthing electrodes and technical testing. All work is performed by ANRE-certified personnel.
  5. Step 5: Dossier, acceptance and energisation. We compile the Utilisation Installation Dossier (DIU), prepare the acceptance documentation, coordinate the operator's checks, and arrange meter installation and energisation.

Required documents

  • Identity document of the beneficiary or authorised representative
  • Proof of ownership of the land/building (up-to-date land registry extract)
  • Urban planning certificate for the station's location
  • Site and zoning location plan
  • Connection request (prepared by your supplier)
  • Technical details of the power requested and the equipment
  • Co-owners' consent (if the station is shared or on jointly owned land)

How long it takes

As a rough guide, the ATR is issued within a few weeks of submitting a complete request, while the design, installation and energisation usually take a few months in total. Timescales vary depending on the power required, the type of station and the operator's response times.

FAQ — Transformer stations

When do I need a transformer station rather than a standard connection?

When your power demand exceeds roughly 100-150 kW and the operator requires connection at medium voltage. The final decision rests with Retele Electrice Romania through the ATR (Technical Connection Approval).

What types of stations do you build?

Stations in concrete enclosures (compact, ground-mounted), pole-mounted aerial stations (for lower power requirements) or stations inside a building. The optimal type is established together with the solution set out in the ATR.

How much does a transformer station cost?

There is no fixed price - it varies according to the power required, the type of station, the equipment and the grid works involved. We provide a personalised quote, aligned with the operator's tariff through the ATR. Prices are quoted in RON (lei).

Do you handle the paperwork and the dossier?

We handle the entire process on a turnkey basis: we prepare the connection request, manage the relationship with Retele Electrice Romania, draw up the design, build the station and complete the dossier.

Which areas do you cover?

Design and installation: Bucharest, Ilfov and Giurgiu. Utilisation Installation Dossiers (DIU): nationwide.

How long does it take until energisation?

As a rough guide, the ATR is obtained within a few weeks, and from design through to energisation the process usually takes a few months.
