Germany doesn’t have hurricanes or wildfires. Take those out and I’d bet the grids are much more comparable.

PGE has to de-energize lines to prevent fires. Hurricanes just blow them down.

The links actually cover this, since EIA tracks major events in power disruptions and separates them in the graph. US network is still orders of magnitude worse than Germany.
