Lack power supply in office? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

workplace

'office?' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'lack power supply' is the wordplay.
'supply' indicates anagramming the letters (supply of letters to make).
'lack'+'power'='lackpower'
'lackpower' anagrammed gives 'WORKPLACE'.

'in' is the link.

(Another definition for workplace that I've seen is " Office -- factory".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
