Southeast France was affected by a significant power failure, including the Cannes area. However, the organizers informed the audience that the video event, which is scheduled to end on Saturday, would not be affected. The reason behind the interruption is mysterious. According to Grid controller RTE, 1, 60, 000 houses had been affected. The Cannes Film Festival stated that the event and screening schedule was” switched to an alternative energy energy supply, which allows us to continue today’s events and screenings, including the closing ceremony.” During the change to engine power, customers signals went dark and forced shops along a main road to close, while morning screenings at the Cannes film festival were quickly halted. Following a significant power outage that hit the Iberian Peninsula next month, Spain and Portugal urged the European Union to intervene in order to drive for energy interconnectors with France, according to Reuters.
