I would assume the same way reefer containers are, hooked up to the ships onboard power distribution. Electrically rigged sail of this magnitude does not impose any significant loads on the grid onboard

We actually plan to go a step further, and power these containers from an internal battery pack. We can then recharge the pack passively when deployed (small wind turbine or solar). Of course we can optionally hook up to ship power if it's available, but we're planning for the case where it is not. As you say, the power to operate these devices should not impose a large electrical load.

Sounds like step further indeed. Considering all the equipment and ideas raised so far, would be amazing to have a look at how you would arrange all this inside the oversized container. Must be quite an intricate puzzle inside.
