本文探讨了政策的发展，以促进可再生能源电力在安大略省（加拿大）1995年和2006年之间。借鉴在政策制定和“多流的方法”的想法的作用，有人认为，在问题，政策和政治流的变化，以及他们的耦合的关键政治问题，占两个显着的转变，安大略的努力，以促进可再生能源电力的使用增加。第一次转变发生在2003年7月3日，当时安大略替代能源专员史蒂夫·吉尔克里斯特宣布，对可再生能源投资组合标准的新承诺取代了对自由市场支持可再生能源电力的唯一依赖。第二次转变发生在2006年3月21日，当时安大略省省长道尔顿·麦坚迪宣布，对招标制度的依赖，以促进可再生电力正在补充承诺上网电价。重点放在思想的演变，结合时间的赞赏，继续提供安大略可再生能源电力政策的发展的解释。版权所有2007年由政策研究组织。
This article examines the development of policy to promote renewable electricity in the province of Ontario (Canada) between 1995 and 2006. Drawing upon both the role of ideas in policy development and a "multiple streams approach," it is argued that changes in the problem, policy, and politics streams-and their coupling by key political entrepreneurs-account for two significant shifts in Ontario's efforts to promote the increased use of renewable electricity. The first shift occurred on July 3, 2003 when the Ontario Commissioner of Alternative Energy, Steve Gilchrist, announced that sole dependence upon free markets to support renewable electricity was being displaced by a new commitment to a renewable portfolio standard. The second shift occurred on March 21, 2006 when the Ontario Premier, Dalton McGuinty, announced that dependence upon a bidding system to promote renewable electricity was being supplemented by a commitment to feed-in tariffs. A focus upon the evolution of ideas, combined with an appreciation for timing, continues to provide the explanation for the development of renewable electricity policy in Ontario.
