The magneto hydrodynamic models of relativistic jets from active galactic nuclei predict the jet power transported by the Poynting flux at the jet base, setting the correlation between the jet power and the total magnetic flux. For highly collimated jets taking the transversal structure into account allows to rewrite this correlation through the observed jet properties such as spectral flux and core shift. Applying this method we find that, for the sample of 48 sources, their jet power distribution is well peaked at the theoretically predicted level.
