That article is a piece of horseshit. It was indeed the renewables (too much of them) that caused the blackout, as independent and regulatory investigations have revealed.

From the specific section you linked:

Chair of the ENTSO-E Board of Directors, stated: "The problem is not renewable energy, but voltage control, regardless of the type of generation"

True, but it conveniently hides the fact that voltage control becomes more of a problem in a low inductance environment.
