Normal disembarkation from the right side of the aircraft

Hello
I would like to ask whether a normal disembarkation from the right side of the aircraft ( especially from an A320) is not possible for any reasons i might be missing .
This is in the case were a disembarkation from the left side is hindered for whatever reason .
An example of that might be the following scenario : the aircraft arrives on the parking position , shuts down the No 2 (right) engine and awaits the connection of the external power to shut down engine 1 (APU is inoperative). Ground power is then found to be faulty and cannot connect to the aircraft. So an option is to keep no 1 to maintain electrical power and opt to offload the pax from the front right door.
another option is to make crossbleed start for no2 , then shut down number 1 , to offload the pax via the left side , but i dont see how the first option is any less good
