Dutch term or phrase: Servicepunt Duurzame Energie
It is a service provided by the province which, as I was informed by the client, only has a digital presence. See website below:

https://servicepuntduurzameenergie.nl/

The client would like to try to avoid using the term *service point* for renewable energy. Any suitable alternatives?

Thank you all!

Sustainable Energy Information Hub


Explanation:
'Hub' is often used figuratively to describe a place where online services and resources are gathered together. There are several examples where this is true for renewable energy services - 'Info Hub' would also be possible.
