In the credit language for Core & Shell is stated that a sufficient number of meters should be provided to capture total tenant energy use with a minimum of one meter per energy source per floor. Having this in mind, I'm not sure if, for example, I have two energy sources, I have to have at least two meters on each floor to monitor these two sources. In my opinion, this might be excessive.

That is what it requires. If it is excessive maybe this credit will not work for you. If you think you can meet the credit intent another way then you need to come up with an alternative compliance path. You can submit that for review as a LEED Interpretation to seek preapproval or try to submit it for review but that would be riskier.
