JAKARTA - Pertamina Patra Niaga has now implemented a Full QR Code scheme for the purchase of subsidized Solar products in 514 cities and regencies throughout Indonesia.

Regional Marketing Director of PT Pertamina Patra Niaga, Mars Ega Legowo Putra said, Pertamina Patra Niaga currently has completed at least 3 of the 5 stages of the Proper Subsidy Program.

"Since June 22, the Proper Subsidy, especially for Subsidy Solar, has been implemented by the Full QR Code scheme. This means that 100 percent of Subsidized Solar Transactions in all regions in Indonesia are required to show a QR Code," said Mars, quoted Monday, June 26.

He explained that this is the third stage in the Proper Subsidy Program, namely that the community has clarified the QR Code as a tool for verifying subsidized Solar transactions.

"This is a crucial stage where direct interaction with the community occurs," explained Mars Ega.

The first stage, said Mars Ega, is the installation stage and preparation of digitalization infrastructure at gas stations which has been completed in December 2020.

The second stage is the integration of the MyPertamina platform, in which there are servers, websites, applications, promotion programs to social media which have started since July 2022.

Mars Ega continued, the implementation of this Full QR Code aims to facilitate and maintain people who are entitled to be more guaranteed to receive Subsidized Diesel.

"Because everything is easy, starting from the list it's easy, then if you already have a QR Code, the transaction is easy, you just need to bring it and disc it by the gas station operator, if you don't have a cellphone, you can print it, so various schemes make it easier for Pertamina to prepare. When you have scanned, it's just a matter of making transactions according to the volume limit that has been set according to the vehicle criteria stipulated in SK BPH Migas No. 04 / P3JBT / BPH Migas / Kom / 2020," he continued.

According to Mars Ega, the successful implementation of the Full QR Code cannot be separated from the support of various relevant stakeholders, the Association of Oil and Gas Entrepreneurs (Hiswana Migas), the mass media, and the community itself.

"Thank you to all stakeholders involved, local governments, Hiswana Migas as gas station partners, media that have communicated and socialized the Proper Subsidy Program, as well as people who have played a role in maintaining the distribution of Subsidy Solar to be more transparent by registering and transacting with a QR Code. This is a difficult stage because it changes transaction properties or habits, and hopefully this will be a good start in maintaining subsidized fuel distribution," concluded Mars Ega.
