power points

Electrical wall receptacles

Power points are electrical wall outlets—the sockets where you plug in appliances and devices.

The term is standard in British, Australian, and other Commonwealth English, where Americans would say outlet or receptacle.

Separately, PowerPoint (one word, capitalized) is Microsoft's presentation software, and by extension any slideshow presentation: She's preparing her power points for the meeting.
