you do know what caused the outage right? nothing to do with its power sources.
Sure the towers came down, a lightning strike on a power station and the interconnector from Vic dropping of line as the start.

But why did the power to all of Eyre Pen. and Port Augusta fail when there is a solar power station at Port Augusta and wind turbines on the Eyre Pen.?

There areas are north of the fallen pylons so should have been able to be isolated from these towers.
