If you're intent on keeping it intact and you don't intend to sell it, I
would just make a short jump from outside to inside using individual 12
AWG THHN wire connecting a pair of standard plugs and receptacles on
each side.  You'd have to wire it in place.  Apply tape over the area
that passes through the louvers to protect it from abrasion (or jacket
the bundle in expanding nylon cable webbing).
