As the Interim General Manager, Haines will leverage his comprehensive record in the energy resources space to work with executive staff and the Public Utilities Board to ensure AMP’s continued mission to deliver safe, reliable, low-cost, and environmentally responsible electricity to the City of Alameda.
“Tim’s strategic management experience and extensive knowledge of energy resources will help ensure the continued stable and reliable operations of the City’s municipal utility,” Ott said. “We look forward to having him at the helm of AMP as we work through this leadership transition.”
Haines began his career with the Sacramento Municipal Utility District in transmission engineering for critical reliability projects. Serving at the state level, he was directly involved in California’s response and recovery to the Enron energy crisis and implemented a major redesign of the California Independent System Operator market, guiding large energy consumers through decarbonization policies, including utilization of renewable power. He has held several strategic leadership roles with public agencies, including serving as Deputy General Manager of State Water Contractors, Deputy Director of the California Department of Water Resources, and Interim General Manager of California Community Power.
Interim General Manager Haines will lead AMP starting today, May 28.
