As a retired Computer Power & Environment Specialist there is no such thing as a power surge, there are voltage spikes that can take out Power supplies. This sounds like bull shit from someone who does not know what they are talking about or getting fed a line. In my experience most CEO and IT Directors did not know how much money the company would lose per hour if the systems went down or if they would stay in business and did not consider the IT system important to the operation of the company. I bet they now know a DR system would have been be cheaper, but they not alone I have seen many airline Data Centres that run on a wing and a prayer.
