Tinubulight is a national digital gateway that helps grassroots enterprises understand their electricity needs, prepare a structured application and follow a transparent path towards suitable clean-energy support.
Why Tinubulight exists
Reliable power can determine whether a tailor completes an order, a pharmacy protects temperature-sensitive stock, a food business avoids spoilage, a POS operator serves customers or a workshop meets production targets. Tinubulight brings energy assessment, application records, verification, financing guidance and progress tracking into one coordinated digital experience.
Nationwide access
Eligible businesses may apply from all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory.
Demand-led assessment
Recommendations are based on selected appliances and realistic operating hours rather than a business name alone.
Traceable progress
Application references, verified tracking and a secure dashboard help applicants understand their current stage and next action.
What the platform provides
- A four-step Smart Energy Calculator with Tier A, B and C recommendations
- A nationwide business application with secure references and email verification
- A protected business dashboard for applications, assessments, documents, notifications and support
- Email-verified public tracking that excludes private and sensitive information
- Structured support, fault and fraud-reporting channels
Programme approach
Tinubulight is designed around clarity, proportional data collection and human review. The calculator provides an estimate; it does not make a final financing or installation decision. Sensitive information is requested in stages and only when it is relevant to verification, financing or service delivery.
Institutional support
The programme is presented with the National Board for Technology Incubation (NBTI) and UKALD.
