If you really, really hate powered-up lifts, don't worry! This chamber can be solved without even acknowledging the energy pellet.
What do I do?
Shoot a portal onto the ceiling, as close as you can to the elevator.
Walk through the orange portal. It may take a few attempts, but you can land on the edge of the lift! Just watch out for the energy pellet.
