So in other words.. this is what is often called "A learning event". It wasn't the fault of any one trigger, but put together the loss of multiple HV distribution networks lead to an unexpected and unintended outcome.
Just like most IT organisations took years to learn how to gracefully handle single network service outages, it seems the green power network also needs to learn through a little trial and error how to continue to provide service in the face of component failure.
But still there's no justification to blame "green power" over coal. In reality we've just got accustomed to a network that is stable due to 100 years of trail and error R&D.
