Good afternoon EDS_DES,


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!


I understand you would like to adjust the preferences on your MacBook Pro to restart automatically after a power outage. To do this:


  1. Click the Apple Menu > System Preferences > Energy Saver
  2. Place a checkmark in front of "Start up automatically after a power failure"
  3. Close the Energy Saver window


macOS User Guide - Customize your Mac with System Preferences


Enjoy your day!

Hi EDS_DES,


It appears the option is only available on desktop models now.


Use the Energy Saver settings on your Mac

"Start up automatically after a power failure

You can set your Mac desktop computer to automatically restart if its AC power connection becomes unavailable. For example, if there's a power outage, or you inadvertently disconnect the AC power cord, your Mac starts up again on its own once power is reconnected."


Take care.
