No emergency diesel generators ?  

I live in an area, having an unpublicised nationally strategic telecoms
hub, with 9+ discrete data centres within 1.5 km of a power station
(linked by dedicated underground cable to another power station) yet
each data centre has at least one diesel generator.

Resilience seems to be their motto.
