Europe has been close to that repeatedly in past years, and every following year more often then in the previous year. The epicenter of many causes for such flucationd and almost-deastsers has become Germany, the symptoms for it then become visible in other places and countries, and there in regional blackouts. Its pretty likely that we will see regional blackouts in Germany this winter, and repeately. Its openly discussed over here to also intentionally switch off power in regions of Germany over the day, for some - announced - hours, to prevcent uncontrolled balckpouts. Planned blckouts are better than unpredicted, chaotic blackouts spiralling out of control. If the latte rhappens, it could lead to a cascade blacking out most of the continent. Not because ther eis not enough power, but because technical installations in the grid go up in flames. The times when the redundancy in the German powergrid were so world-leadingly good that the rest of the planet envied the Germans for their stable and "undestructable" powergrid, are over. Murphy's law: what can happen, will happen - you only have to give it time enough to get there.
