They'll hold up to the weather they were built to hold up to - same as oil or gas power plants.
The sudden blackout affected the Evere, Schaarbeek and Sint-Lambrechts-Woluwe municipalities of the Brussels-Capital Region, Belgian gas and electricity network provider Sibelga has confirmed. It said the cause of the power failure was not immediately clear.
The incident was “not a terrorist attack,” Belgian high-voltage transmission system operator Elia tweeted, but instead “a technical error in one of the high-voltage substations.” The substations have already been fixed and the power will be gradually restored, it said.

Stupid liar
Totally clueless...Renwables had nothing to do with it you liar

They have everything to do with instability of the grid and massive fluctuation swings..
LOL So, another denier that cannot read a simple chart. The y axis is billions of dollars invested, the x the year. Sheesh, that is one damned simple chart.Has anybody mentioned the cost of Solar and Wind, lately. This OP is old, I bet the cost is much more, today.

Wind and Solar Are Crushing Fossil Fuels

Wind and solar have grown seemingly unstoppable.
While two years of crashing prices for oil, natural gas, and coal triggered dramatic downsizing in those industries, renewables have been thriving. Clean energy investment broke new records in 2015 and is now seeing twice as much global funding as fossil fuels.
One reason is that renewable energy is becoming ever cheaper to produce. Recent solar and wind auctions in Mexico and Morocco ended with winning bids from companies that promised to produce electricity at the cheapest rate, from any source, anywhere in the world, said Michael Liebreich, chairman of the advisory board for Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF).
"We're in a low-cost-of-oil environment for the foreseeable future," Liebreich said during his keynote address at the BNEF Summit in New York on Tuesday. "Did that stop renewable energy investment? Not at all."
Here's what's shaping power markets, in six charts from BNEF:
Renewables are beating fossil fuels 2 to 1
Looking very good for wind and solar
What does your bullshit chart even measure? There's no explanation of the vertical axis

Right.....which is why they fail at present every tine the wind picks up....did you see where brussels blacked out...renewable central...in the dark....
big deal it's still a tiny fraction of our energy productionMost of this will be paid by investors running into solar energy and out of coal!!! Solar is now the second most installed source of energy in this country as of last year.
The big dogs at the top of the private energy sector are going to invest trillions!

Nuclear? Far too expensive. And what are you going to do with the nuclear waste? Until that is solved, no reason to build new nukes.
what's the grid scale storage cost?The cost per kw of the wind and solar electricity is far lower than that of nuclear. It is far quicker to install, and with grid scale storage, can be 24/7. And that is what matters to the consumer. Cost per kw.
According to Oncor, the largest utility in Texas, the break even point for grid scale storage is $350 per kw/hr. Right now, Tesla is building and selling grid scale batteries for $250 per kw/hr, and expects the cost to decline to $100 per kw/hr by 2025.what's the grid scale storage cost?The cost per kw of the wind and solar electricity is far lower than that of nuclear. It is far quicker to install, and with grid scale storage, can be 24/7. And that is what matters to the consumer. Cost per kw.
Don't forget to add that in to the price per KW
But you won't as your insistence of calculating the cost of wind by rated nominal capacity and not actual output has shown
