Seems to work just fine for me. Are you certain the outlet it's connected to is powered? If a device is connected to an unpowered outlet it will not power the device even if there are other outlets nearby that are powered. Devices can only connect to one single outlet no matter how many are within range. Happens all the time with turret towers and such where there are a lot of outlets in use. You'll need to troubleshoot your outlet system.
Next time make a thread in the Ark section if it's not an issue related to the server going down.
