The style, design and content of computer rooms has significantly changed over the last twenty years, but the need to guarantee uptime has not.
Electricity is certainly the key component in providing the core running power, but it is some of the other not so obvious elements that can be a bigger threat. After all because of its associated risks, fail-safes, optimisers and back up systems for electrical supply are ‘factored’ in at design stage.

Each can have an affect from limited data loss or shorting to catastrophic failures of multiple pieces of kit (ask anyone who has been involved in a major zinc whisker contamination).
