Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide for power control for dual connectivity. A UE may identify a power control configuration that determines priorities for uplink transmissions over multiple component carriers and one or more base stations. The UE may identify a union of semi-static uplink or flexible transmissions between multiple component carriers employed by one cell group, such as a master cell group and a secondary cell group, and determine a configured power level for the cell group. The UE may then determine whether to transmit an uplink transmission on a cell of another cell group, based on the power control configuration and the configured power level.
