It's probably more accurate to say that grid failures CAN be cascading events. The article above says the real cause was a software bug that prevented operators from knowing they needed to redistribute the load.

Re: Nobody but Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
The power losses are due to a variety of factors, not only wind/solar failures. Gas & coal plants also had problems.
By Wednesday, 46,000 megawatts of power were offline statewide — 28,000 from natural gas, coal and nuclear plants and 18,000 from wind and solar, according to the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, which operates the state’s power grid." AP
