Not really. What does happen is Germany’s and the Belgium - Dutch - North French wind turbines trip off regularly under both low winds and high wind conditions (true. Rarely under icing, but I’ve also seen hundreds of hours of helicopter flights deicing the wind turbine blades by chemical sprays). But Sweden rescues the north european grid routinely (weekly) with its immediately available gigawattts of hydropower always sitting in reserve. No other place but New Zealand has equal hydro reserves not already in use.

They don't live like we do and you are talking about a country so small we could store it in Texas while it's being painted.
