All eyes are on Paris for the 2024 Summer Olympics where 206 nations compete to snatch medals across 32 sports. Athletes face both old and new rivals, showcasing their skills after years of arduous training. On this grand stage, Taiwan’s Lee Yang and Wang Chi-Lin secured gold in men’s badminton doubles on Sunday (Aug 4), defeating the World No. 1 pair from China in a thrilling 75-minute match. Congratulations!
The 2024 Paris Olympics took place from 24 July to 11 August 2024 in France, hosting tens of thousands of athletes, over 6,500 media professionals, related staff, and millions of visitors. A question arises: can France’s power grid handle the massive demand?
On the night of July 27 to the early morning of July 28 Paris time, X (formerly Twitter) was flooded with tweets and photos about a power outage affecting 85,000 residents. ENEDIS, the French power company, attributed the outage to a “technical anomaly that led to grid failure.” Fortunately, the blackout lasted only 10 minutes, though such a delay could be critical if it impacted ongoing games.
