Bob Kahn, serving as Austin Energy's general manager for nearly two years, is retiring on April 30, 2025. City Manager T.C. Broadnax has named Stuart Reilly as the interim general manager, effective May 1. Kahn, who previously held various significant roles within the utility and played a crucial role in Texas's energy legislation, has led substantial improvements in Austin Energy’s operations, including financial stability and system reliability. Mayor Kirk Watson and the City Council have expressed gratitude for Kahn's contributions during his final meeting. Reilly brings extensive experience in municipal energy management.
"Bob Kahn played a pivotal role in shaping electric utility policy and was instrumental in drafting Texas's retail deregulation legislation, significantly impacting the utility landscape."
"Under Kahn’s leadership from 2023, Austin Energy has strengthened its financial position, improved system reliability, and advanced a new Resource, Generation and Climate Protection Plan to 2035."
