plugged into

Drawing power from

Plugged into means connected to a source of power, information, or influence.

Literally, a device is plugged into an outlet.

Figuratively, someone plugged into a scene or community is well-informed and engaged: She's really plugged into the local music scene.

To be plugged into something is to have access and awareness.
