Daisy chain power for LG UltraFine 4K Display

If you daisy chain two "23.7-inch LG UltraFine 4K" displays using ThunderBolt. Will the 2nd display be powered by the first display (which would be connected to mains power) using the ThunderBolt connection or do you have to run power cables to both displays?

I just received a second UltraFine 4k and it appears you have to plug the second into power. That said, everything I seem to read (largely reviews of the monitor) seem to indicate the only thing you need to do to daisy chain a second monitor is connect the first and second via the thunderbolt cable. Long story short, I'm a bit annoyed it doesn't seem to work without a second power cord as it was the entire reason I went with this set-up in the first place...
