The present disclosure provides a power supply apparatus for an aerospace actuator 14, comprising motor drive electronics 12 for actuation of a motor 13 for control of the aerospace actuator 14, and an energy storage device 17. The motor drive electronics 12 are configured to receive input electrical energy from an aircraft power grid 6, receive electrical energy from the energy storage device 17 and provide electrical energy from the grid 6 and/or from the energy storage device 17 to the motor 13. The energy storage device 17 is configured to store at least one of: excess electrical energy supplied to the motor drive electronics 12 from the grid 6 and regenerated electrical energy from the motor drive electronics 12. The energy storage device 17 is configured to discharge the stored energy as electrical energy to the motor drive electronics 12 when required. An aircraft may be provided with at least one of the above-described power apparatuses.
