Do you have evidence to support that assertion?

Where I am, storms are usually blamed. Trees on lines and lightning 
strikes on lines and substations are most common. Traffic accidents 
involving power poles appear to be next most common, followed by 
equipment coming into contact with overhead lines. Or so the newspapers 
report.

 From memory, it's been more than two decades since we had capacity 
problems. That was distribution, not generation capacity (if I recall 
correctly).
