A large part of the "under-regulation" is that renewables aren't required, like other parts of the system to assure availability and file offline requests. Combined with the fact that wind/solar economically pressure the reliable sources, because they only make money when the green energy sources fail, means that basic maintenance/etc gets deferred.
So, sure shift the blame to the "backup sources" rather than mentioning that the wind farms were operating at something like 5% of the nameplate capacity.
