The traditional economic development aims at customer satisfaction and profitsmaximization, but overused the natural resources. Therefore, it becomes a necessity to take intoaccount the social and environmental aspects. In order to ensure sustainable development, it havebeen adopted numerous rules and regulations which set objectives and targets aiming to reduceemissions and contributing to a responsible behavior. One of the objectives set at EU level is to ensurethat sustainable development is the use of renewable resources in the production of electricity.

Inthis paper we intend to analyze the tools used in Romania for the purpose of promoting the productionof energy from renewable sources, the green certificates market, the share of renewable energy ingross inland consumption, the fulfillment degree of the target and their reflection in the annualfinancial statements of energy production companies listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange.
