“An object may have electrostatic potential energy by virtue of two
key elements: its own electric/electrostatic charge and its relative position
to other electrically/ electrostatically charged objects.”
“Electrostatic potential energy of a system containing only one point charge is zero, as there are no other sources of electrostatic potential against which an external agent must do work in moving the point charge from infinity to its final location.” So, when you bring alpha particles towards another alpha particle, the electrostatic potential energy of the system increases.
