AboitizPower Corp. said it continues to see headway with its shift to a paperless billing system with more than half of its client base now on board the platform, an executive said.

AboitizPower Distribution Utilities senior vice president and chief operating officer Anton Perdices, said MobileAP, a mobile application designed to automate electricity bill payment and monitor consumption in real-time, has been gaining momentum across the group’s franchise areas, thanks to the pandemic-driven digital adoption.

The electricity distribution unit has more than 1 million customers from the residential and industrial sectors.

“So we’re hopefully going to convert everybody 100 percent so we don’t have to print and deliver bills anymore,” the official added. “So having to not print one million bills, just imagine how much paper you’re saving. Having not to deliver one million bills, just imagine how much reduction in emissions from motorcycles.”

Perdices did not disclose the group’s target timeline for covering all their clients, but said they would do it “however fast we can.” Information campaigns have been also rolled out to boost customers’ awareness of the app, he said.
