HOUSTON, Texas, July 6, 2026 - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Solaris Energy Infrastructure, Inc. (NYSE:SEI) (“Solaris” or the “Company”), today announced the acquisition of Global Energy Services Alliance, Inc.

Transaction Highlights and Strategy
oStrengthens and Scales In-House End-to-End Power Capabilities. Expands the Company’s offerings to deliver full cycle power solutions, including front-end plant installation and commissioning services through long-term operations and life-of-asset repair and maintenance required to support a growing global generation asset base.

Baseload and Pro-Per bring decades of power operations, maintenance, installation and commissioning, and repair expertise across a broad spectrum of installed generator and turbine classes, including aeroderivative, industrial, heavy-duty, hydroelectric, and steam. This expanded technical bench strengthens Solaris’ ability to deliver full turnkey power solutions at scale, meeting the Company’s growing customer demand and positioning it to serve additional third-party customers across the expanding global power industry.

Baseload’s U.S.-based aftermarket and installation and commissioning services combined with Pro-Per’s international O&M experience expands Solaris’ capabilities to provide a full scope of domestic and international third-party power generation services for power generation at all sizes, including grid connected, co-located across-the-meter, and behind-the-meter power installations.
oStrengthens Financial Profile. The acquisition is expected to be accretive to earnings and free cash flow per share and was funded through approximately $55 million of cash consideration and the issuance of approximately three million Class A Solaris shares.

“Combining GESA’s capabilities with Solaris’ proven track record of executing large-scale power projects also facilitates our access to new end markets and customer segments. We continue to see a significant runway for growth not only domestically, but also globally as power infrastructure investment accelerates at a rapid pace.
