I actually live in Berlin. I don't remember ever being without power for more than minutes in the 13 years I've lived here and all of those were basically things like blown fuses and had absolutely nothing to do with capacity shortages. This power outage was in a specific area (Köpenick) in Berlin that only affected a very small portion of the Berlin population (30000 people on close to 4M people in Berlin). The root cause was some infrastructure work resulting in a power cable being cut. That stuff can happen anywhere and it had nothing to do with a capacity problem. There was plenty of power but they were cut off from it.
