French energy provider Sorégies is acquiring the BP Pulse fast-charging network in France. The deal covers 32 operational sites with over 600 charging points and 14 locations under development that will add nearly 200 additional points. The transaction includes hardware, transformer stations, and the relevant operations team, which will join the Sorégies Mobilités subsidiary.
The acquired infrastructure will be rebranded under the Alterna énergie name. This move shifts Sorégies from a regional player in the Vienne and Indre departments to a nationwide operator. The company aims to enter the top ten fast-charging providers in France, focusing on capacities exceeding 100 kW. Sorégies has committed to investing over €100 million in electromobility by 2030.
For BP, this sale is part of a broader divestment strategy valued at $20 billion. The company is offloading mobility assets in various European markets, including the Netherlands and Austria. Despite these exits, BP continues to operate its Aral Pulse network in Germany, which currently spans over 4,000 charging points across nearly 600 locations, including new infrastructure for electric trucks.
The transaction between Sorégies and BP is expected to close by the end of 2026. While the financial terms of the French deal remain undisclosed, the acquisition follows Sorégies' earlier purchase of Vattenfall’s French energy supply business in April. The network being transferred includes charging sites at motorway service areas and commercial retail centers.
