Joe Amara Executive Search Tapped to Lead Head of Power Origination Search

Confidential mandate for a large independent power producer centers on large-load customers, data centers, and complex power agreements

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Joe Amara Executive Search has been selected by a large independent power producer to lead a confidential search for a Head of Power Origination. The executive will lead commercial strategy across a national wind, solar, and battery storage portfolio, with a central focus on attracting large-load customers and negotiating complex, long-term power agreements.

The assignment places customer origination and transaction execution at the center of a senior leadership mandate. The incoming executive will build relationships with data centers and other major commercial and industrial electricity users, structure power supply solutions, and negotiate agreements that align customer requirements with project economics, financing, and delivery.

“Winning a large-load customer takes more than identifying demand,” said Joe Amara. “It requires a leader who can bring the customer, the project, and the commercial terms together—and stay close to the negotiation until an executable agreement is in place. That combination of market knowledge, creativity, and execution is central to this search.”

The role spans both new development and operating assets. Alongside securing new customer commitments, the executive will oversee utility and corporate offtake, power purchase agreement restructuring, repowering opportunities, and commercial strategies for assets approaching the expiration of existing contracts.

Working closely with development, trading, finance, legal, and senior leadership, the Head of Power Origination will lead an established commercial team and guide transactions across major U.S. electricity markets.

The search seeks an experienced power-sector executive with a record of structuring and closing sophisticated commercial agreements, developing customer relationships, and leading teams through complex project negotiations. Experience across wind, solar, and battery storage, together with an understanding of data-center and other large-load customer requirements, will be particularly relevant.

The client’s identity is confidential. Qualified executives and referral sources may contact Joe Amara Executive Search at [e-mail]. All inquiries will be handled confidentially.
