The Gulf Coast Power Association has awarded its former executive director, Kim Casey, the 2025 Power Star Award in recognition of her contributions to Texas’ competitive energy markets, the organization said in a March 26 press release.
“Kim Casey’s impact on the energy landscape in Texas is profound. Her dedication, knowledge and innovative approach to challenges in the industry have set a standard for excellence,” said Pat Wood III, who chaired both FERC and the Texas Public Utility Commission, in the release. “This award is a well-deserved acknowledgment of her contributions that have shaped competitive energy markets.”
The Power Star Award was created in honor of Wood and recognizes an individual with a distinguished career who has played a crucial role in the advancement of electric markets. Casey was one of the first wholesale power originators in the U.S. and helped develop ERCOT’s first protocols. While at Dynegy, she originated numerous structured wholesale power contracts and oversaw the Texas power generation portfolio.
Casey co-founded Fulcrum, a nationwide energy management services company that evolved into a competitive retail electricity company since acquired by Just Energy. She has served on ERCOT’s Technical Advisory Committee and SPP’s Board of Directors.
The award will be presented at GCPA’s 38th Annual Spring Conference April 14-16 in Houston.
