Sorégies is set to acquire the entire French charging infrastructure of bp pulse, including 32 operational stations with more than 600 charging points, as well as 14 additional sites currently under development. This move marks a significant expansion for Sorégies into the fast-charging market. Previously focused on the Vienne and Indre departments in central France, the company is now broadening its reach nationwide. By acquiring bp pulse's network, Sorégies, which is the fourth-largest electricity provider in France, is expected to enter the Top 10 of fast-charging operators in the country, based on the number of operational charging points with power exceeding 100 kW. This acquisition is part of a broader investment plan by Sorégies, which aims to invest 1.5 billion euros by 2030, with over 100 million euros specifically allocated to electric mobility. This follows another major acquisition in April 2026, when Alterna énergie acquired Vattenfall's French energy supply activities. The current acquisition involves more than 800 charging points, with the 32 operational sites primarily located on motorway routes and in large regional shopping centers. The 14 sites under development are expected to add nearly 200 additional charging points. The transaction also includes a stock of charging stations and electrical substations. The operation is expected to be completed by the end of 2026, pending usual regulatory approvals. Sorégies has already operated over 1,000 charging points in its historical territories since 2015. Once this acquisition is finalized, the company's total number of charging points will exceed 1,800. This acquisition is part of a broader trend as bp, the parent company of bp pulse, has been divesting parts of its business since the start of 2025. The company has committed to a divestment program worth around 20 billion dollars to refocus on its core oil and gas operations. However, the scope of its transition activities has been reduced significantly, with the annual budget for such initiatives falling below 500 million dollars, far below the initial plan of 5 billion dollars. bp pulse, once present in twelve countries, now focuses on four markets: the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and China. The subsidiary has also faced significant cuts, with more than a hundred job losses from a global workforce of 900. In Europe, bp has continued its exit strategy, selling bp pulse and Dutch service stations to Catom, and entering an agreement with Volenergy in Austria covering 250 stations and the country's charging infrastructure. The completion of these deals is also expected by the end of 2026. As part of the acquisition, Sorégies will create a new subsidiary, Sorégies Mobilités, based in Paris, which will take over the teams and expertise of bp pulse. This includes employees specializing in the development, construction, and operation of charging infrastructure. The charging network will be operated under the brand Alterna énergie, the national subsidiary of Sorégies. The company aims to integrate its electricity supply services with electric vehicle charging to create synergies and enhance its market position.
