For you to say that renewables is to blame is pathetic and really just regurgitating LNP spin without thinking. For your information here is the information from the Australian Energy Market Operator which was from a report given to the government.

"There has been unprecedented damage to the network (ie bigger than any other event in Australia), with 20+ steel transmission towers down in the north of the State due to wind damage (between Adelaide and Port Augusta). The electricity network was unable to cope with such a sudden and large loss of generation at once. AEMO's advice is that the generation mix (ie renewable or fossil fuel) was not to blame for yesterday's events – it was the loss of 1000 MW of power in such a short space of time as transmission lines fell over."

There was going to be a sudden loss anyway as the wind generators were also shut down because of high winds, just like they stopped the other day when the wind stopped.
Nothing more expensive than $millions worth of generators not producing a damn thing.
