You can purchase outlets that fit *into* the counter surface (and "pop-up"
when needed; an up-facing outlet is prohibited).  You can also locate
outlets below the counter (within ~12" vertically) as long as they aren't
recessed more than ~6".
There are other rules for islands and peninsulas to ensure no extension
cords are used to bring power to workspaces that might need it (anything
more than 12" wide)
