Patty Durand recently founded Georgia Utility Watch, a nonprofit that seeks to rein in Georgia Power’s bloated compensation and end their vice grip on state politics. Patty left her position as director of the Smart Energy Consumer Collaborative, an energy industry nonprofit, to run for a seat on the Georgia Public Service Commission in 2022. That election was cancelled due to litigation, and since then Patty has remained engaged at the PSC and at the state legislature advocating for utility reform. Patty was state director for the Georgia Chapter of the Sierra Club and has an MBA from the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia.
