ElectriCities of North Carolina, Inc., announced on Oct. 16 that it has named Scott Jones Chief Financial Officer. He will succeed Tim Tunis, who earlier this year announced his retirement effective April 2025 after 20 years with ElectriCities.
Jones has over 25 years of experience in the energy industry, including 19 years in public power.
Most recently, he served as Chief Financial Officer and Assistant General Manager for Snohomish County Public Utility District in Everett, WA.
Jones began his public power career with Municipal Electric Authority of Georgia (MEAG) where he served as Controller, VP-Audit and Risk Management, and SVP-Chief Administrative Officer during his tenure.
Following his time at MEAG, Scott joined North American Electric Reliability Corporation as Senior Director of Finance and later Chief Financial Officer. He is also a former member of the Board of Directors for The Energy Authority.
“We are excited to welcome Scott to the ElectriCities team and look forward to officially having him on board in January,” said Roy Jones, ElectriCities Chief Executive Officer. “His skill set and decades of industry and public power experience are a great match for our organization and I am confident of the value he will bring ElectriCities and our members.”
As Chief Financial Officer, Jones will be responsible for all corporate financial matters, including advising the organization’s internal staff, ElectriCities’ Board of Directors, and the Power Agencies’ Board of Commissioners on financial, accounting, budgeting, and investment matters. Jones will also provide counsel on corporate financial and investment strategy and provide oversight for ElectriCities’ Human Resources, Information Technology, and Information Governance functions.
“I look forward to joining ElectriCities and the opportunity to continue to serve in public power,” said Jones. “I value ElectriCities’ focus on collaboration and service and am proud to play a part in continued success for public power in the region.”
