Abstract: Improving the financial sustainability of Romanian electricity generating companies can be achieved by adopting a set of strategic measures. These measures may include: investments in more efficient and cleaner technologies, such as natural gas power plants or renewable energy sources. These technologies could reduce production costs and help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In this context, the aim of this paper is to identify the determinants of increased financial sustainability of electricity generating companies in Romania. In order to achieve the proposed goal, the following objectives have been formulated: O1 - Analysis of efficiency indicators with influence on increasing or reducing financial sustainability; O2 - Identification and analysis of risk indicators influencing growth or reduction of financial sustainability and O3 - Analysis of performance indicators influencing growth or reduction of financial sustainability. The research methodology is based on the sample analysed consisting of 150 companies operating in the power generation sector. The results of the research consist in the development of a model for the assessment of financial sustainability of electricity generating companies in Romania under crisis conditions. The usefulness of these results is reflected in the outline of a reference framework for monitoring and quantifying the financial sustainability of electricity generating companies in relation to reported economic and financial indicators.
