QR codes are already used to pay the electricity in Piura


PIURA, Peru – The electricity distribution company ElectroNorOeste, SA implemented printed QR (quick response) codes in the consumption bills since this week for the payment to be easier, safer, and faster to its user,it reported.

When the user scans the QR code with the smartphone, it opens the e-wallet application he or she uses. So, he or she could pay the service not needing to go to a box office or a bank.

The code is available since June billing, it appears in the lower part of the bill [see the attached picture].

A company’s spokesperson  said the implementation was developed because the users asked for it – it adds to the other payment ways like e-banks, box office payment, and cash & consignment agents, as well as its website.  There’s no extra charge in all cases, but we suggest to check out the service terms of every collection entity before choosing the right one.

A QR code is a combination of bars and squares added to any product or consumption unit in order to be read and decoded by an optical reader that send the data to a computer for executing an operation or procedure immediately.

An e-wallet is an application allowing to pay by using a mobile telephone or device under debit mode, only using the available money in that moment as well as you use the real bills or coins you keep in a traditional wallet.

Both systems started to have a more frequent use beginning this millennium, they became almost essential during the Covid-19 pandemic for eluding the crowds that could trigger more contagions.

Graphics and photographs provided by University of Piura. PIURA CITY, Peru - The flood-affected towns caused by Coastal El Niño claim a never-again about such disasters.  The summoned ones to change the history are, first, the (regional and national) governments , then the technical and scientific instances  for weather, climate, and disaster management & following-up.
