Atlantic Power Shareholder Alert: Briscoe Law and Powers Taylor Investigate Possible Breaches of Fiduciary Duty by Officers and Directors

Former United States Securities and Exchange Commission attorney Willie Briscoe, founder of The Briscoe Law Firm, PLLC, and the securities litigation firm of Powers Taylor, LLP announce an investigation into potential violations of federal securities laws by certain officers and directors of Atlantic Power Corporation, Inc. ("Atlantic Power" or "Company") (NYSE: AT) during the period of July 23, 2010 to March 1, 2013 (the "Clss Period").

Based on our investigation, we are prepared to pursue litigation to preserve the company and the value of Atlantic Power stock for all shareholders," said shareholder rights attorney Patrick Powers.
