Patty Durand, a longtime critic of Georgia Power, has been arrested in a dispute tied to alleged corporate documents during a major energy fight in Georgia.
She has previously accused the utility and regulators of hiding the true costs of rising electricity demand and data center expansion.
Now she faces felony allegations involving the alleged removal of restricted materials.
Supporters say the case may be retaliation against a whistleblower exposing energy pricing and transparency issues. Others argue it’s about crossing legal boundaries.
At the center of the controversy:
👉 Who pays for Georgia’s growing power demand—and who profits?
The case could shape future debates on energy costs, regulation, and corporate accountability.
