City appoints Interim General Manager of Alameda Municipal Power, begins recruitment for permanent position

Alameda Municipal Power (AMP) is announcing the departure of General Manager Nicolas Procos to pursue a new opportunity after nearly seven years with the City. City Manager Jennifer Ott has appointed Tim Haines to the role of Interim General Manager while leading the search for a permanent replacement.

During his tenure, General Manager Procos led AMP to an improved financial position with lower-on-average rate increases, a transition to 100% clean energy, and a new focus on energy efficiency and electrification. 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,” said City Manager Jennifer Ott. “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, Haines 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.

The City would like to thank General Manager Nico Procos for his service to the City. Interim General Manager Haines will lead AMP starting May 28th.
