English term or phrase: get the power
Hi,

I am translating a document on 'oil industry' and got the phrase 'get the power' which I translated as 'obtenez le pouvoir'.

But the client wants a much better phrase in french. I have tried many options and couldn't get better than this.


Pls suggest some better options.

Regards,
