We consider partial words with a unique position starting a power. We show that over a $k$ letter alphabet, a partial word with a unique position starting a square can contain at most $k$ squares. This is in contrast to full words which can contain at most one power if a unique position starts a power. For certain higher powers we exhibit binary partial words containing three powers all of which start at the same position.
