Google for "colocation power costs", and you'll discover that most colo's offer a 20 amp service included in their standard charge for renting a full rack, but then will charge around $10 per amp per month for extra power, if not more. Some places will add an extra $300-500 per month for each extra 20- amp circuit. -- -Chuck
