Annotated bibliography: 1.	Stokes, L. C. (2013). The politics of renewable energy policies: The case of feed-in tariffs in Ontario, Canada. Energy Policy, 56, 490-500.

In this article Stokes discusses how current government policies and initiatives are used to build renewable energy infrastructure in Canada. He examines and provides a case study on Ontario’s “Feed In Tariff” policy. This case will be beneficial to our Wikipedia assignment as it will help us understand how renewable energy policy design and implementation takes place within the context of Ontario.

This paper by Barrington-Leigh and Ouliaris gives an in-depth understanding of Canada’s current energy infrastructure. It provides a holistic study of the Solar, Tidal, Wave, Geothermal, Bio-energy, Hydro, and Wind power in Canada. The paper will guide us in our understanding of how each province is able to maintain its current technology and demand of renewable energy in 2016.

This source is published by Natural Resources Canada and the Government of Yellow Knife and the Northwest Territories. The information provided in the article gives readers a good introduction to the various initiatives taken across Canada towards building its Renewable Energy infrastructure. It provides charts and information and also discusses certain policy initiatives outlined by various provincial governments, which will help us edit the “local policies” section of the Wikipedia page.

4.	Richards, G., Noble, B., & Belcher, K. (2012). Barriers to renewable energy development: A case study of large-scale wind energy in Saskatchewan, Canada. Energy Policy, 42, 691-698.

Within this article Richards engages readers about challenges and barriers that have come up against renewable energy initiatives. This article provides a case study on Saskatchewan and the various oppositions that erupted against wind power initiatives. The results of the case study describe the resistance to renewable energy is not as simply inspired by technological, political or economic factors, but by a multitude of sources which create barriers through the sustainable transitions of the three inter-related domains of interest, institutions, and ideas.

5.	Krupa, J. (2012). Identifying barriers to aboriginal renewable energy deployment in Canada. Energy Policy, 42, 710-714.

This paper by Krupa, J, examines numerous barriers involved in establishing renewable energy from the perspective of indigenous interest groups and their initiatives towards building renewable energy in their communities. The article argues specific barriers in Aboriginal communities such as issues of cash, equality, capacity, and legitimacy which highlight the shortcomings faced by indigenous groups in R.E policy making. Therefore, the article will help us understand the perspectives of the Indigenous stakeholders around Canada to ensure a fuller understanding of Canada's renewable energy industry.
