Without knowing much about the specifics of regulating wind generation, I'd say it adds some complexity, and we don't have the same number of decades of experience of operating it at scale that we do for some other generation techniques. So I don't see that wind (in the sense of weather patterns) was a contributing factor, but that complexity of regulation probably did contribute. But then again, as the Little Barford CCGT station showed, it's still perfectly possible to have unexpected failure modes on more conventional generating equipment. (Little Barford enter service in 1996, and is presumably fairly typical of the kind of CCGT stations that were built in large numbers in the UK through the 90s.)
