Narrative:

When we arrived in operations and reviewed the paperwork; we discovered that this aircraft had a history of electrical problems; specifically the AC bus #2 disconnecting on descent momentarily. We talked to maintenance personnel at ZZZ and they had done extensive repairs to the aircraft (replaced both generator cables). Flight was normal through descent when we briefly got the AC bus 2 ECAM; followed by several others including autoflight fac 2 fault; then fuel check tank pump low pressure (there was no fuel in center tank). We also got a call from flight attendant reporting that the video had failed and all of the cabin lights had turned off; and then back on. We were then cleared for a visual approach with an ILS back-up. The turn by the controller was close in and we were high. I also noticed that the information in the mcdu such as destinations had been erased. The captain; who was flying; was doing the best he could to get configured and down but at 500 ft was 15-20 KTS fast. He elected to not go around; which I think was a good decision as we had plenty of runway for a safe landing and with unknown extent of electrical problems; getting on the ground seemed like the safest course of action. The landing was normal and we exited one intersection before the end of the runway. We called maintenance and agreed to ground the aircraft.
