Jayapura, Papua PT Pertamina Patra Niaga will disseminate information among the Papuan community, especially owners of four-wheeled vehicles, on how to register on the subsiditepat.mypertamina.id website for purchasing subsidized fuel.
The state-run oil and gas corporation PT Pertamina’s (Persero’s) commercial and trading sub-holding will carry out the information dissemination in Nabire, Merauke, and Biak Numfor districts.
The sub-holding’s area manager, communication relations and corporate social responsibility for Papua and Maluku regions, Edi Mangun, said here on Saturday that the activity will be held from August 1 to 5, 2022.
Registration booths will be prepared at several gas stations to help customers register for the subsidized fuel.
“The consumers will be educated so they can easily understand the registration process as well as the actual implementation (of the subsidized fuel purchase),” the official said.
In addition to booths, people can also register directly on the website, he added.
Once their registration and verification on the website are completed, applicants will get a quick response (QR) code, which can be used to buy subsidized fuel, he informed.
The code will be scanned by gas station officers every time customers buy subsidized fuel.
“Later, it (the code) can be printed, saved, or even attached to the vehicles,” Mangun said.
The payment for the transaction can still be made using cash, he added.
The confidentiality of customers’ data will be guaranteed, and the data will be useful for the government to develop energy policies and prevent the potential of subsidized fuel misuse, he said.
The company is also coordinating with local governments and other agencies so that the actual implementation of the subsidized fuel purchase policy is not hampered.
Earlier, president director of PT Pertamina Patra Niaga, Alfian Nasution, said that people who wish to buy subsidized Pertalite and Solar diesel fuel, will need to register on the company’s application MyPertamina or on the subsiditepat.mypertamina.id website.
The trial of the application and webpage was launched on July 1 at a number of locations in West Sumatra, West Java, South Kalimantan, Yogyakarta, and North Sulawesi provinces.
