It's actually mostly the fault of central planning not expecting a larger than normal demand increase. An additional 30000 Mw/h of demand over what they planned for. In addition to that, wind power supplied about half of what it was expected. Roughly 11000 Mw/h less than expected. Not expecting a once in a century cold week and non-reliable renewables were responsible.
Not to the extent of this winter. Temperatures have not been this low, for as low for as long, or as much snow since the 1940s. Nor did it have rolling blackouts state-wide for days in 2011 either. So, no, not the same problem in 2011.
