You are way off here, this is 100% on Flexential, they have a 100% Power SLA, that means the power will always be available, right? They also clearly hadn't performed any checks on the circuit breakers and this is a NEWER facility for them, they also didn't even have HALF of the 10hours for the batteries to charge the generators, they also DEFINITELY should have fully moved to generators during this maintenance, they clearly couldn't because they were MORE than likely assisting PGE. Cloudflare CEO is right on here, you pay for Data Center services to be full redundant, they have 18MW at this location and from what I can see they have (2) feeds? That I can't find? Do they? If (1) feed goes down the 2N they have should kick in and with generators there should be NO issues.
