Addresses power charges (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

accosts

'addresses' is the definition.
('accost' can be a synonym of 'address')

'power charges' is the wordplay.
'power' becomes 'AC' (AC is an example).
'charges' becomes 'costs' (I've seen this before).
'ac'+'costs'='ACCOSTS'

(Other definitions for accosts that I've seen before include "Grabs" , "Approaches boldly, solicits" , "As a solicitor does" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
