Transportation Electrification Funding Opportunities by Kelly Stevens and Sam...Forth
Sam Schanfarber, Business Development Manager and Kelly Stevens, Senior Manager, Strategic Communications & Partnerships at Forth gave this presentation at the PNW Utility Roundtable on June 3, 2021.
This document discusses potential policies and measures to increase adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) in Ireland based on behavioral economics principles. Transport currently accounts for 42% of Ireland's energy consumption and 41% of energy-related emissions. While EV grants and tax incentives already exist, adoption rates need to increase significantly to meet climate targets of 1 million EVs by 2030. The document identifies several behavioral barriers like status quo bias and outlines evidence-based policies like congestion charging, total cost of ownership labeling, dealership training, and workplace charging incentives that could help boost EV purchases in Ireland. It concludes by noting some initial implementation steps for 2021.

An evaluation found that about 30,000 people were displaced, over four times the original estimate, and the resettlement program was implemented under severe time pressure. While the dam was built on time and on budget, environmental and social issues were not adequately addressed in planning. The economic rate of return was estimated to be 8%, lower than originally projected due to lower than expected power outputs and lack of irrigation benefits. Lessons highlighted the need for more comprehensive planning, data collection, and attention to social and environmental matters in large infrastructure projects.

This document provides an independent review of UNIDO's small-scale hydropower projects. It finds that the projects have been pursued without systematic programmatic planning or analysis. Feasibility studies were often superficial. Reporting, accountability and learning mechanisms were weak. Some projects focused on donating technology from China without proper assessments, and productive use of electricity did not develop as hoped. The review provides several recommendations to improve the strategy, management and impact of UNIDO's small-scale hydropower activities.

The Evolution and Impact of OTT Platforms: A Deep Dive into the Future of Ent...ABHILASH DUTTA
This presentation provides a thorough examination of Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms, focusing on their development and substantial influence on the entertainment industry, with a particular emphasis on the Indian market.We begin with an introduction to OTT platforms, defining them as streaming services that deliver content directly over the internet, bypassing traditional broadcast channels. These platforms offer a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, and original productions, allowing users to access content on-demand across multiple devices.The historical context covers the early days of streaming, starting with Netflix's inception in 1997 as a DVD rental service and its transition to streaming in 2007. The presentation also highlights India's television journey, from the launch of Doordarshan in 1959 to the introduction of Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite television in 2000, which expanded viewing choices and set the stage for the rise of OTT platforms like Big Flix, Ditto TV, Sony LIV, Hotstar, and Netflix. The business models of OTT platforms are explored in detail. Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) models, exemplified by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, offer unlimited content access for a monthly fee. Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) models, like iTunes and Sky Box Office, allow users to pay for individual pieces of content. Advertising-Based Video on Demand (AVOD) models, such as YouTube and Facebook Watch, provide free content supported by advertisements. Hybrid models combine elements of SVOD and AVOD, offering flexibility to cater to diverse audience preferences.
Content acquisition strategies are also discussed, highlighting the dual approach of purchasing broadcasting rights for existing films and TV shows and investing in original content production. This section underscores the importance of a robust content library in attracting and retaining subscribers.The presentation addresses the challenges faced by OTT platforms, including the unpredictability of content acquisition and audience preferences. It emphasizes the difficulty of balancing content investment with returns in a competitive market, the high costs associated with marketing, and the need for continuous innovation and adaptation to stay relevant.
The impact of OTT platforms on the Bollywood film industry is significant. The competition for viewers has led to a decrease in cinema ticket sales, affecting the revenue of Bollywood films that traditionally rely on theatrical releases. Additionally, OTT platforms now pay less for film rights due to the uncertain success of films in cinemas.
Looking ahead, the future of OTT in India appears promising. The market is expected to grow by 20% annually, reaching a value of ₹1200 billion by the end of the decade. The increasing availability of affordable smartphones and internet access will drive this growth, making OTT platforms a primary source of entertainment for many viewers.
