I feel like this is a good example of what we mean when we call a country a “capitalist state”, or “dictatorship of capital.” Georgia Power, from what I can find, is a subsidiary of Southern Company, which is a publicly traded company. So, a for-profit major corporation wants to serve its interests and those involve using the land somebody’s home is on. They’d rather not get the government involved directly, but they will wield it like a sword if they have to:

Brown’s mother recently came to an agreement with Georgia Power to sell. If she didn’t, Brown said the utility could have sought to acquire the property through eminent domain — which is a legal process that allows private property to be taken, with compensation, for projects determined to serve a public purpose.

Holly Lovett, a spokesperson for Georgia Power, said eminent domain “is always … a last resort for us and it’s something we never want to do.”

In other words, a corporation threatens to use the state if the person doesn’t comply. This illustrates the relationship between capital and the state as dictatorship of capital, where the state serves the interests of capital. The line about “projects determined to serve a public purpose” is kind of a joke here. We know this frantic gold rush buildout is for the enrichment of capitalists, not for public good, but it’s technically a public purpose if you count a publicly traded company as having a purpose.

In contrast, if a dictatorship of the proletariat were to do similar, it would be reversed. The state would typically step in to make a corporation comply, such as with various laws and regulations. Or to use something like eminent domain but for a real public purpose, as in the meaning of public good. Like if a hypothetical future socialist Turtle Island were to have to do this sometimes in order to be able to build high speed trains. That would be actual public good. This is for the capitalist’s gain, with the state behind them as a threat.
