You do know that data centers use backup generators because electricity is a single point of failure right? They even have multiple power supplies plugged into different circuits.

How many times do you account for the existence of backup generators in a data center when you design, say, a SPA? How do you expect to be treated if you even suggest such a thing in a design requirements meeting? Do you understand what I am saying?
All of the time? Backup power is table stakes for anyone serious about hosting.
It’s not even clear what you’re trying to say, but redundancy is one of the primary things you are paying for when shopping for a datacenter to use.
Even tiny 1000 sqft data centers for colleges had UPSes with 1-2 generators 20+ years ago.
