Each of the first plurality of source/load groups includes a first power source and a first plurality of loads, wherein at least one of the first plurality of loads includes a server rack. The first power source in each of the first plurality of source/load groups is sized to supply power to the first plurality of loads for the corresponding one of the first plurality of source/load groups. The first power source in each of the first plurality of source/load groups is also sized to provide excess capacity to be shared by the first plurality of loads corresponding to other ones of the first plurality of source/load groups.
