I haven't used cacti in a while, but does it let you combine several RRD files in to one graph? If so that's useful for power stuff, because you're likely to want to graph an aggregate of several things across different devices - for example a+b power of a server, or aggregate power usage for one customer with multiple power feeds.
Note that RRD has some cool stuff that cacti can't use by default, including the "aberrant behavior detection" functionality - that's probably quite useful for power and environmental stuff..
