Reading the outage report it seemed more like piss poor planning on everyone's part. [1]

From the looks of things, even a 100MW system being instantly available wouldn't have helped prevent the outage (given the 445MW shortfall from windfarms disconnecting due to voltage drops), but it may have helped reduce the time taken to restart the network.
